A new report shows that the number of total food and beverage recalls in the United States decreased in 2024 compared to 2023, yet more Americans were sickened or died than the year before.
In all, the United States had 296 food recall announcements in 2024, which is a 5% decrease from 2023, the U.S. PIRG Education Fund's analysis shows. There were notably more high-profile recalls in 2024. Peter Burke is a lifestyle editor with Fox News Digital.
