November Food and Drug Recalls Include E. Coli, Listeria, and Allergen Risks

The FDA and USDA issued numerous recalls this month for contamination, mislabeling, and undeclared allergens, impacting products nationwide.

Grimmway Farms organic carrots were linked to an E. coli outbreak that sickened dozens and resulted in one death, prompting recalls of related products like falafel and prepackaged vegetables.
Listeria contamination led to recalls of Enoki mushrooms, soft cheeses, and over 72,000 pounds of meat and poultry products, with warnings about severe health risks.
Allergen-related recalls included mislabeled ice cream, soup mix, and tortilla strips, which posed dangers for people with egg and wheat allergies.
Lead contamination was found in cinnamon powder, and Salmonella risks prompted recalls of cucumbers, dog treats, and organic eggs sold in several states.
Consumers are advised to check recall notices, avoid consuming affected products, and follow disposal or return instructions to ensure safety.
