Brookside Sausage And Other Urgent Food Recalls You Need To Know About

Food recalls happen all the time these days. Even companies that prioritize safety might still produce unsafe goods due to factors like pollution or unlisted allergens. To protect customers, companies must quickly issue recalls, remove the goods from the shelves, and tell people not to eat them.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US and the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the USDA regularly post recall alerts on their websites. But if you don’t check these government websites every day, it’s easy to miss very important food safety alerts, especially if they don’t make the big news.

To help you stay informed, we’ve put together a list of the most recent food recalls that Americans need to know about. This page will be updated with the newest recalls through 2024, so feel free to save it and come back to see what’s new.
