Searching food recalls
Food recalls in this dataset include packaged foods, produce, dietary supplements and animal-derived foods regulated by FDA. The reason line usually says why: an allergen missing from the label (for example undeclared milk), a pathogen such as Listeria monocytogenes or Salmonella, foreign material, or a labeling error. Search any of those words, a brand, a company or a product type. Results are newest first, up to 25 at a time.
Reading the result
- Class I, II, III: FDA's hazard class, from most to least serious. A missing major allergen is typically Class I or II depending on the risk.
- Status: Ongoing, Completed or Terminated as FDA records it.
- Distribution pattern: the states or countries the recalling firm reported shipping to. It is not a store list.
- Code info: the lot codes, UPCs or best-by dates covered by the recall. Compare these with your package.
Scope
This dataset covers foods under FDA. Meat, poultry and egg products are recalled through USDA FSIS, and Canadian recalls are posted by the CFIA. Links: USDA FSIS recalls, Canada Recalls and Safety Alerts, and FDA recalls.
Freshness
openFDA food enforcement data was last updated 23 September 2026 when this page was built, and it follows FDA's weekly Enforcement Report, so very recent recalls may appear a week or more late.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a food has been recalled?
Search the product, brand or company, then compare the lot code, UPC and best-by date on your package with the code information in a matching record. When in doubt, follow the recalling firm's notice and do not eat the food.
Can I search for an allergen recall?
Yes. Search the allergen with the word undeclared, for example undeclared milk or peanut, and read the reason line of each result.
Why is a meat or egg recall missing?
Meat, poultry and egg products are handled by USDA FSIS, not FDA, so they are not in this dataset.
Does a Terminated status mean it is safe?
It means FDA considers the recall complete. It does not make an individual recalled lot safe; check your lot against the recall.
Reference information, not medical advice
This is a search of public FDA recall records. A match does not mean a product you own is affected, and no match does not mean a product is safe: the records can lag a recall announcement and do not list every lot. Check the product lot or code against the recall notice, follow the recalling firm's and FDA's instructions, and ask a pharmacist or clinician before stopping a medicine. In an emergency call your local emergency number.
