The ABC’s of Recall Prevention: Allergens, Bacteria, and Contaminants
FDA Class 1 Recalls aren’t random—they follow a pattern:
– 25% from Undeclared Allergens – Mislabeling or cross-contact can lead to life-threatening reactions.
– 25% from Bacteria – Pathogens like Listeria, Salmonella, and Clostridium botulinum continue to trigger major recalls.
– 50% from Contaminants – Foreign materials, unexpected chemicals, and even unauthorized drugs are leading causes of recalls market withdrawals.
The key to recall prevention? Identifying and eliminating these risks before they reach consumers. Every manufacturer should be asking: Do we have the right detection, labeling, and safety protocols in place?
Don’t wait for a recall to expose vulnerabilities, get ahead of the risks today.
