Produce Recall Tracker — Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Recalls

Why produce recalls are frequent

Produce grows in the ground and is exposed to soil, water, animals, and environmental contamination. Unlike many processed foods, produce often isn't cooked before eating — making pathogen contamination directly dangerous. Common contaminants include E. coli (from contaminated irrigation water), Salmonella (from soil and animal contact), Listeria (from packing facilities), and Cyclospora (from imported produce).

Most frequently recalled produce categories

Leafy greens (romaine, spinach, mixed greens), onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, bagged salads, fresh herbs, berries, and melons have all been the subjects of major recalls in recent years. Many large outbreaks have been linked to whole heads of produce or pre-packaged salad mixes distributed to grocery chains nationwide.
