As some of you likely recall, we here at Food Industry Counsel track recalls throughout the year. To that end, as we pass the midpoint of 2021, we wanted to check in and see how things going so far. At this point, we are pleased to report things are going pretty well!
So far in 2021, there have been just 21 recalls of USDA regulated products. The month of May has had the most recalls of any month so far, with a total of six. January and March had the fewest, with three each. The month of June is on pace for the best month yet, with zero recalls in the first two weeks.
