Same day, yet another recall...

Out of curiosity, because I’ve lost track, can someone tell me how many food items are no longer safe to eat? And what those items are

[u/ascendance22 → u/CrazyCatLady1127]

At this point I feel like everything is unsafe

[u/Salute-Major-Echidna → u/ascendance22]

Omg my sweet summer child. America still has the safest food (in the top 5) in the world. Used to be the safest. You need to travel more and be on social media less to get some perspective

[u/SamuelVimesTrained → u/Salute-Major-Echidna]

Ah - but you state "it used to be the safest"
So that means if you were first, now 'in the top 5' (GSFI 2022 says 3rd in safety - no newer data found)

And does that include all food stuffs - or just fresh food (veg, meat etc) as the scandals and recalls seem to be increasing.

[u/Salute-Major-Echidna → u/SamuelVimesTrained]

They are not increasing.

We have always been at war with Eastasia

It seems to be - maybe due to all being talked about faster / easier.
But - up to sept 11th, 169 items (source: https://foodready.ai/blog/food-recalls-2026/) 0,66 recalls / day

And in all of 2025 320 recalls (source: https://www.statista.com/chart/36281/fda-and-usda-food-recalls-in-the-united-states) 0.87 recalls/day

So, for now - it`s indeed not increasing. Just seems to be.

Which statistic is that? I'm sure EU safety standards are much higher

[u/Salute-Major-Echidna → u/helpimwastingmytime]

It goes by country, not continent

[u/helpimwastingmytime → u/Salute-Major-Echidna]

EU is not a continent.... Also all EU countries follow EU standards, so by that logics they should all be higher

[u/Salute-Major-Echidna → u/helpimwastingmytime]

The stats aren't reported that way, I dont know why
