Current Class 1 FDA & USDA Recall Trends
FDA
Recalls / Reason(s)
- 6/13/25 – Food & Beverage – Gummy products – Undeclared allergen – peanut.
- “This voluntary recall was initiated after the retailer, ALDI, conducted routine testing as part of their standard protocol to verify the accuracy of allergen-related claims made on their product labeling, specifically a “does not contain peanuts” statement. One test result indicated a potential presence of a peanut allergen. Although internal testing conducted by Vita Warehouse Corp. has verified the absence of peanuts in the product, the recall is being initiated out of an abundance of caution to ensure consumer safety and trust.” 1
- 6/12/25 – Food & Beverage – Dried Apricots – Potential or Undeclared Allergen – Sulfites.
- “The recall was the result of a routine sampling performed by the New York State Department of Agriculture and markets which revealed that the finished products contained Sulfites that were not listed on the product labelling. The company has ceased production and distribution of the products as FDA and the company continue their investigation to correct the issue with the manufacturer.” 2

USDA
- 6/13/25 – Food – Beef Tallow Products – Produced without the Benefit of Inspection.
- “FSIS discovered the problem after FSIS received an anonymous consumer complaint about beef tallow products void of the federal mark of inspection being sold in a retail location in Carolina, Puerto Rico. FSIS determined that King Tallow LLC purchased beef fat from an FSIS-regulated facility and further processed into tallow, portioned into jars, and relabeled the product without the benefit of FSIS inspection. The beef tallow products contain a nutrition facts label, leading people to believe that the product is safe for human consumption. King Tallow LLC does not possess a federal grant of inspection and is not authorized to produce products intended for human consumption.” 6
- 6/12/25 – Food – Ineligible Frozen Siluriforms Fish Ball Products – Vietnam is not eligible to export Siluriform Fish to the United States.
