Food recalls rise under RFK data
Food safety concerns have surged with notable outbreaks of cyclospora, salmonella, and E. coli linked to various grocery products in the U.S. this summer. Despite widespread illness, the number of food recalls by the FDA remains below historical averages, likely due to reduced surveillance and workforce cuts under Department of Health and Human Services leadership. Experts warn that fewer recalls do not equate to a safer food supply, as lower testing may result in fewer identified problems, contributing to significant outbreaks like the recent cyclospora epidemic.
