Allergen contamination has emerged as the leading cause of food recalls, responsible for nearly 40% of incidents between 2020 and 2024. These allergens often enter products through shared equipment or cross-contact. Following closely behind are microbiological hazards like Salmonella and E. coli, accounting for 21% of recalls. The FDA provides resources for consumers and retailers to stay informed about recalls and safety alerts.
Preventing Contaminations with Proper Controls
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) emphasizes the importance of preventive controls to mitigate allergen and microbiological contamination. Effective cleaning and sanitation programs help manufacturers minimize risks in production environments. FSMA requires ongoing monitoring and review to ensure that preventive measures are working and protecting consumers.
