What this page counts

The state on an FDA recall record is the address of the recalling firm. It is not where the product was sold: a firm in Mississippi frequently distributes nationally, and food bought in Mississippi is frequently recalled by a firm in another state. Each record below carries its own distribution pattern.

What is different about Mississippi

The hazard that separates Mississippi from the national picture is undeclared allergens: 86% of these records name it, against 26.5% of all FDA food recalls.

By product, Mississippi is weighted toward snacks and confectionery: 44.2% of the records here against 14.7% across the corpus.

Recalls in Mississippi are more often the serious kind: 60.5% are Class I, where the FDA judges there is a reasonable probability of serious health consequences, against 44% of all records.

A recall in Mississippi stays open a median of 113 days between the report and termination, against 215 days for the corpus as a whole. Termination follows the firm accounting for every unit of the affected lot.

These recalls stay local: 0% state nationwide distribution, against 20.7% across the corpus.

What Mississippi firms recalled for

A single recall can name more than one hazard, so these counts overlap and do not sum to 43.

• Undeclared allergens37
• Salmonella1
• Foreign material1

By year

Counts are by the date the FDA reported the enforcement action. That date runs behind the date a firm started a recall, so the most recent year is always partial.

Firms with the most records

A firm appears here because it reported recalls, which is what a working recall procedure produces. A high count frequently reflects a single event split across many product codes rather than many separate failures.

• The Caramel Factory, LLC.26
