It feels like 2024 has been filled with major recalls and we're not even half way through the year.

Earlier this month, Cargill Meat Solutions is recalled just over 16,000 pounds of raw ground beef products that may have been contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced back on May 1st.

Back in January, we kicked off the year with a recall that threatened the lives of infants in Alabama. There was a recall on baby formula and according to the FDA, the contamination “For most people, it is harmless, but it can be life-threatening for infants younger than two months, infants who are born prematurely, and for infants who have weakened immune systems.”

Now, as we head into the summer there has been a recall on seafood. The recall was issued by Alabama seafood processor Irvington Seafood.

According to Food Manufacturing, the seafood recall is said to "have the potential to be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems."
