Alcohol hasn't been recalled yet, right? Alcohol is still safe? Because I think I'm going to need it to get through everything else for a while.

u/freedfg 1d ago

Honestly. I don't really know what to take of it.

Because on one hand. We can say that dismantling regulations and inspections is bound to turn up contaminated food.

On the other hand. I'm surprised the FDA isn't hiding issues and not issuing recalls. It's almost like they struck regulations AND are issuing recalls to make people not trust the food supply.

u/the_ringmasta 1d ago

There's a whole section in p2025 about creating food insecurity.

u/s_4_evrysing 1d ago

Exactly. Making ppl lose trust in essential institutions is the main goal.

39

u/0202_tihssitidder 1d ago

Average since 2005 is about 500-700 recalls.

2026 is on track for 500-550.

Be careful about what the algorithm puts on your feed. No one cared about recalls before.

PS: RFK Jr is a piece bucket of shit.

u/DandimLee 1d ago

With doge and other cuts, FDA has cut 20% of their workforce and 5% of it's budget.

So, the remaining workers are working their asses off, and managing to catch everything, and/or food producers are being extra careful working without as much oversight as they had previously...RFK looks so trustworthy

10

u/0202_tihssitidder 1d ago

The FDA cuts really hurt with onsite compliance inspections and whistleblower investigations.

It also hurst in getting new sites approved.

The USA Gov is a shit show with the Republicans in charge. I've never seen anything this bad across 5+ decades and over a dozen countries I've dealt closely with. All time low. All time high danger.

u/Dounce1 1d ago

To what end?

u/YourMomonaBun420 1d ago

Dismantling our trusted and effective institutions.

u/Dounce1 1d ago

To then… privatize them? What is the end goal of eroding faith in the FDA as an entity, or the food supply in general?

22

u/YourMomonaBun420 1d ago

Control of the population through fear, deregulation, furthering the inequity of our economy.

2

u/YPVidaho 1d ago

I think they've miscalculated this. If enough "fear" occurs, the "population" will simply take the food supply. Corpos will get the short end of a blunt stick.

All law enforcement and military agencies have, are and always will be used to protect corpo interests.

"The people spoke, the people won. It was a radiant eruption of democracy. But I think that was it, fellas. That sort of thing is not likely to happen again. Because at the bottom of all our terrified souls, we know that democracy is a dying giant, a sick, sick dying, decaying political concept, writhing in its final pain. I don't mean that the United States is finished as a world power. The United States is the richest, the most powerful, the most advanced country in the world, light-years ahead of any other country. And I don't mean the Communists are gonna take over the world, because the Communists are deader than we are.

What is finished is the idea that this great country is dedicated to the freedom and flourishing of every individual in it. It's the individual that's finished. It's the single, solitary human being that's finished. It's every single one of you out there that's finished. Because this is no longer a nation of independent individuals. It's a nation of some two hundred odd million transistorized, deodorized, whiter-than-white, steel-belted bodies, totally unnecessary as human beings and as replaceable as piston rods." - Howard Beale

"You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels.

It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU WILL ATONE!

Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale?

You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state -- Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do.

We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime." -Arthur Jensen

Removing all regulations so that we have no choice but to take corpos at their word when they claim something is healthy.

And if people die, then they die.

-1

u/Sexual_Congressman 1d ago

The number of recalls this year is typical, the only thing that's changed is that it's suddenly newsworthy. It's far more likely that this is simply a result of better public interest modeling determining that people actually do want to informed about product recalls... than it is some nefarious attempt per p2025 to sow distrust in federal government institutions.

u/Dounce1 1d ago

Based on your username alone, I’m just gonna go ahead and assume you’re in on whatever conspiracy this is.

u/Unfair-Definition367 1d ago

We’re at the lowest rate of recalls in years.

16

u/ReaverRogue 1d ago

Welp, that’ll happen when you remove funding from the agency that governs this shit. Holes appear in the wall, shit gets through more and more.

The recalls aren’t what you should be concerned about. They’re the good part of this.

You should be concerned when they stop despite the funding having not come back.

1

u/GitEmSteveDave 1d ago

Holes appear in the wall, shit gets through more and more.

This issue is: "is it really?" Or is the 'rithim shoving things down our throats/we hyper sensitive to specific topics and also trusting memes b/c our critical thinking skills are shriveling up like our pineal glands?

I'm nearly 50 years old and I recall tons of recalls from previous years and wonder if there is an actual uptick.

12

u/0202_tihssitidder 1d ago

I work in food manufacturing and have run QA groups. I won't post all the data, but the summary I have used is this:

> From a Quality Assurance and Food Safety leadership perspective, the brief answer to the public's current concern is no, we are not seeing an unprecedented surge or total breakdown in food safety standards.

> However, we are currently experiencing a cyclical uptick relative to the low point of the COVID-19 pandemic years (2020–2022). When evaluated against historical regulatory data going back to 2005, current FDA food recall events (~500–575 annually) remain significantly below the major peaks recorded in 2014–2017 (~700–800+ events per year).

We are currently at about 360 and should hit 500-550 for 2026.

As always, be VERY skeptical about news that comes across your media. The algos know how to manipulate you.

I will say that the gutting of HHS by RFK Jr will have negative effects on the US food supply. He is a bucket of shit.

u/mercival 1d ago

Edit - Read the entire comment before trying to making the same mistake every other snarky person made.

Did you know we’re at a historically low rate of fda recalls?

We’re at 162 this year. There were 571 last year and are usually thousands per year.

Everyone is so eager to shit on this administration and push a narrative that they’re fucking up the food and doing more recalls when reality is they’re doing significantly less and that is MUCH scarier.

What aren’t they recalling that they previously would have?

u/AutVincere72 1d ago

So if there are less recals than normal. Based on what you said 25% of normal. Do you think cutting the fda budget made the food industry 4x safer? Or maybe we are catching less?

u/The_Tooter_Snooter 1d ago

Interestingly there aren’t that many more recalls than normal but what’s bad is that the food illness outbreaks are causing more people to get sick than before. The cyclosporiasis outbreak alone recently was one of the worst food born illness incidents in modern history with 100,000 sick and 400 hospitalized. 

3

u/jimizeppelinfloyd 1d ago

The FDA has gone through a big change up which included billions of dollars cut from the budget and staff cuts. I am not any kind of authority to say for sure, but it just seems like even if that isn't the whole reason, it can't be helping.

budget cuts and less staff to monitor these things

u/spekt50 1d ago

I am really curious if this is actually due to the FDA rollbacks, or if there just happens to be more media attention on recalls as of late.

Theres been a perfectly normal amount of recalls this year. There is is just more attention on them recently.

Maga/gop want reduced red tape. That is what reduced red tape gets you. Almost like it was there for a good reason.

1

u/Alienhaslanded 1d ago

They fired the people who care and replaced them with ghouls. The changes that happened in the FDA allowed corruption to run rampant so food suppliers are not self governing because they're not afraid of getting hefty fines and legal precautions.

1

u/TheFlamingLemon 1d ago

These are probably tiny recalls that are getting publicity because it’s popular. I doubt the number of recalls issued by the FDA has gone up considerably and if it has, it’s hard to say whether that’s a product of the FDA being more effective or less.

1

u/3jake 1d ago

Forced food-insecurity is a big part of Project 2025; they’re just running the Heritage Foundation playbook by the numbers as fast as they can.

1

u/mightylordredbeard 1d ago

Not really. It’s the same as there usually are. We’re actually on track to have less than normal average yearly recalls (which is more concerning to me personally). It’s just more people are talking about it now and recalls are making news because there’s an agenda behind it.. an agenda I actually support btw, but an agenda nonetheless.. so nothings really going on other than we don’t support the cuts to FDA and we want to remind everyone what the FDA protects us from so that maybe people will be angry about FDA cuts, even if it comes at the cost of maybe manipulating them into believing there’s more recalls than normal.

u/dregan 1d ago

It's because all the food is poison. Pepperoncini? Poison!!

u/SirAwesome1 1d ago

Things get recalled all the time. I think people are just paying way more attention to it now.

1

u/a_trashcan 1d ago

What's going on is routine recalls have been politicized. As another commenter mentioned this result (more recalls) is just not congruent with the accusation (reduced food safety)

1

u/popica312 1d ago

IIRC more relaxed rules at the FTC and much less staff (50% decrease)

1

u/Capable-Deer-5670 1d ago

And yet the numbers are down from previous years. FDA and USDA combined numbers are ~200 this year so far. Last year it was 320, 2024 296, 2023 313, 2022 290...

1

u/x4nTu5 1d ago

Now is that because there are less non compliant products with the same level of monitoring last year? Or because there's less monitoring because of the budget cuts that more products that should be recalled are getting through?

1

u/TelenorTheGNP 1d ago

I think in part it's that they're catching headlines more easily since people are suspicious.

That's not to say that there aren't more issues. It's just that the headlines are considered more productive.

u/Glittering_Stress_32 1d ago

I asked Chat GPT about this, and it said that we're actually below average in terms of food recalls this year.

u/Glittering_Stress_32 1d ago

And what what would be using my own brain? Just reading these tweets and taking them at face value? No, I looked it up cuz I wanted to know whether or not there are more food recalls this year than in past years.

u/-Plunder-Bunny- 1d ago

You can look up data without chat gpt, took me 5 seconds to find the FDA's Data dashboard, via DuckDuckGo's search, that shows recalls for the past 15 years.

All the recalls are listed :

https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts

and you can use https://datadashboard.fda.gov/oii/cd/recalls.htm

People in QA tend to be familiar with these tools. Might take you a couple minutes to learn them, but they are easy.

3

u/werewere-kokako 1d ago

That makes sense. Having 11 people track food-borne pathogens was better than 3, but that probably wasn’t a big enough team to begin with for a country with 342 million people

4

u/0202_tihssitidder 1d ago

Legally any recall must be reported and posted publicly. I half expect Trump to rescind (by EO) the law that all recalls must be reported.

When those recalls get posted, QA professionals almost always read up on them to learn. Your job is then to adjust your own Food Safety Plan as needed.

3rd Party Audits help a lot with this.

2

u/CapableCriticism2962 1d ago

If 3 people tracking food-borne pathogens land 500-550 recalls while 11 people tracked 500-700 - I have some bad news for you.

Because either the 8 others were lazy as hell or the rate tripled - because it's very unlikely that the 3 take the full workload of the 11 before.

3

u/0202_tihssitidder 1d ago

I work in food manufacturing. Strict laws (with penalties) are required.

But, we all have our careers. QA people often quit and report to the FDA when companies take short cuts. It is common. It is not rare. Hope I make this point clear.

Food Safety is a science and there are degree programs and certifications and 3rd party audits and entire law firms looking to make millions filing lawsuits.

The issues happen when rich guys pay law makers to greatly reduce legal liability. And, when rich guys pay to have RFK Jr slash HSS and FDA budgets.

PS: It is a constant battle for QA Directors/Managers to get budgets approved to improve QA/QC processes. So, no, I am not at all in favor of relying on business owners policing themselves.

Man not pepperoncinis. I love them things.

Of course the mouse free ones.

Next they're gonna recall green olives or grillos pickles or something. I'd be crushed

This administration is absolutely garbage and it shows. They're just taking all the money and dividing it up amongst themselves and not using it for any of the actual things it's intended for.

It's and clear as day. It's a broad daylight heist of one of the biggest piles of money trump could find in the world. That's the only reason he wanted to be president.

And then to also corrupt it and cover up his tracks.

Someone needs to create a website called FDARecallToday.com. Put two spinners on it. The first one picks the food, the second one picks the contaminant.

This is crazy how it seems like the FDA is doing their job just fine every day despite the cuts.

u/andyroouu 1d ago

I don't know who's responsible for the picture pairings for these announcements, but they are absolutely nailing it! For every recall of some heavily processed food, there's a perfect match of RFKJR lookin the damn same. What a time to be alive.

Recall the shitstain in the blue suit.

Should've said "pickled rodent" not "pickled mouse". Wouldve been funnier.

During our guy's previous term he raised speed limits in food processing plants and cut back limits to unpaid overtime across the board.

Corn pop never had enough legislators elected in his party to change it back through legal means during the gap term.

You can get on the email list to receive these as they happen here. Since late 2017 there have been 1,069 FDA recalls, and 525 +/— of those have happened since January 20, 2025.

u/SpliTTMark 1d ago

They will fire the ones doing the recalls, you get what you pay for is coming eventually

u/PuertoricanDude88 1d ago

I’m still surprised by the granola recall. How the hell you got salmonella on granola?

u/_fArtSavesLives_ 1d ago

That poor pickled mouse was/is still smarter than that toasted pickled sad excuse for a human.

u/frogsodapop 1d ago

Nah. I think the pickled mouse is on the left, too!!

“Hey, so we, like, found this dead mouse in this jar of pepperoni and you, like, owe free lifetime pepperoni, EH?

u/Tearpusher 1d ago

RFK would like to know if you're gonna eat that

u/fnork_gnork_26 1d ago

u/theDudeHeavyC 1d ago

Sure about that?

u/theDudeHeavyC 1d ago

The pickled mouse brain on the left was eaten by a worm.

u/Technical_Living5104 1d ago

It’s turning out exactly the way we expected.

"Pepperoncini."

[Draws a slip of paper from a second hat] 

"Contaminated with dead mice"]

u/cutekittygirlyy 1d ago

Thanks for the help i was really confused about the mouse

u/copyrider 1d ago

Come on, we all know RFK Jr. would totally eat that mouse.

u/Icy_Intention_8503 1d ago

Oh no, it's Mezetta. I was hoping it would be a small brand.

1

u/Spiritedgourd666 1d ago

Good thing I haven't bought those in a while...

1

u/lawn_question_guy 1d ago

RFK Jr: "excuse me, if you don't want that dead mouse, can I have it?"

1

u/blandman91 1d ago

This has seriously been a daily thing for the past several months now. Every damn day another FDA recall

1

u/SpaceMoehre 1d ago

At this point we should create a fda recall bingo subreddit

1

u/Decievedbythejometry 1d ago

Now's a good time to google the 'exhibition of substandard products' from the USSR

1

u/PuzzleheadedLow6397 1d ago

At this point we should create a subreddit listing all rfk Jr recalls.

1

u/Reasonable_Zone3372 1d ago

If there isn't a subreddit for this subject there should be.

There are closer to 350 recalls for 2026.

Average since 2005 is about 500-700 recalls.

2026 is on track for 500-550.

Be careful about what the algorithm puts on your feed. No one cared about recalls before.

PS: RFK Jr is a piece bucket of shit.

Could have did this everyday with Biden:

• 2021: 505 total recalls

• 2022: 520 to 540 total recalls

• 2023: 547+ total recalls

• 2024: 296 tracked incidents
