Meat & Poultry Recall Tracker — USDA FSIS Alerts

Meat and poultry recalls are handled by the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), not the FDA. This means they're published on a completely separate website that most consumers never check. Panko Alerts monitors FSIS alongside FDA to catch every recall.

Why meat recalls are published separately

In the US, food safety regulation is split between two agencies. The FDA covers most food products, while FSIS covers meat, poultry, and processed egg products. This means a Listeria recall on deli meat is posted on the FSIS website, while a Listeria recall on frozen vegetables is posted on the FDA website. Most consumers don't know this split exists.

Common meat recall reasons

The most frequent reasons for FSIS recalls include: Listeria monocytogenes contamination, E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef, Salmonella in poultry products, undeclared allergens (soy, wheat, milk), foreign material contamination (metal, plastic, bone fragments), and temperature abuse during transport.

Panko Alerts is one of the few consumer apps that monitors both FDA and FSIS recall databases. Whether it's a vegetable recall from FDA or a ground beef recall from FSIS, it appears in the same feed — scored by urgency, with product details and affected states.
