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 New Jersey frequently distributes nationally, and food bought in New Jersey is frequently recalled by a firm in another state. Each record below carries its own distribution pattern.

Who regulates food in New Jersey

State agency: Department of Health & Senior Services Food & Drug Safety Program
State food code: Sanitation in Retail Food Establishments and Food and Beverage Vending Machines

This agency regulates retail and food-service establishments in the state. Most of the firms below are manufacturers, whose recalls are federal actions under FDA jurisdiction, so the agency named here did not issue them. FDA, retail and food service codes by state, read 2026-09-15.

Who got ill

The CDC recorded 70 foodborne outbreaks in New Jersey between 2012 and 2023, with 1,202 reported illnesses, 42 hospitalisations and 0 deaths. That is 0.8% of the 9,038 foodborne outbreaks in the dataset.

The setting recorded most often was a sit-down restaurant, in 22 of the 60 where a setting was named.

Outbreaks: 70
Reported illnesses: 1,202
Hospitalised: 42
Deaths: 0

Foodborne outbreaks reported to CDC, National Outbreak Reporting System (NORS) for 2012 to 2023, read 2026-09-15. An outbreak is two or more illnesses traced to a common food, so this counts people rather than product, and it does not cover the recall years after 2023.

What is different about New Jersey

The hazard that separates New Jersey from the national picture is foreign material: 13.6% of these records name it, against 8.3% of all FDA food recalls.

A recall in New Jersey stays open a median of 435 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 travel further than most: 29.9% state nationwide distribution, against 20.7% of all records.

The volume is rising: 182 records in the three years to 2025, against 133 in the four before them. A rise in records is not the same as a rise in hazards.

What New Jersey firms recalled for

A single recall can name more than one hazard, so these counts overlap and do not sum to 1,034.

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.

Questions

How many FDA food recalls come from New Jersey?: 1,034 of the 29,386 FDA food recall records published since 2012 were issued by firms located in New Jersey, which ranks it 11 among the states and territories. 404 are Class I.
Does this mean the food was sold in New Jersey?: No. The state on a recall record is the address of the recalling firm, not the distribution area. A firm in New Jersey frequently distributes nationally, and food sold in New Jersey is frequently recalled by a firm in another state. Each record carries its own distribution pattern.

All FDA food recall data

Location says where a recall was issued, not where the evidence for it lives. Krolda maps supplier documents to the clause they satisfy in FSSC 22000, IFS Food and 21 CFR 117, and routes the corrective action when the evidence is missing.

Early access

Recall records come from the openFDA food enforcement API, published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the public domain. Krolda adds the hazard classification and the clause mapping; neither is an FDA determination. Always check the FDA notice before acting on a recall.
