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

Who regulates food in West Virginia

State agency: Department of Agriculture
State food code

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 22 foodborne outbreaks in West Virginia between 2012 and 2023, with 372 reported illnesses, 9 hospitalisations and 0 deaths. That is 0.2% of the 9,038 foodborne outbreaks in the dataset.

Outbreaks: 22
Reported illnesses: 372
Hospitalised: 9
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 West Virginia firms recalled for

A single recall can name more than one hazard, so these counts overlap and do not sum to 11.

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.

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.
