For Americans, it’s been a real tough summer for figuring out what foods are safe to eat.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced 26 notices for food products this August alone (not including pet food). Including drugs, that total increased to 46 recalls. That’s a notable increase from August 2025 when just 26 products were recalled, including 18 food products, and from August 2024 when 24 products were recalled, including 19 food products.
A lot of it was salmonella. In the past month, the FDA issued 12 different product recalls for potential salmonella contamination—a six-times increase from the month before. In July, the FDA recalled only two products for potential salmonella contamination. In August 2025 and August 2024, only one product was recalled for potential salmonella contamination.
The latest recalls over salmonella concerns include radishes, mangos, alfalfa spouts, granola, and jalapenos and the many, many pre-made dishes that include them as ingredients. A number of food products were recalled in this month for other concerning reasons, including glass in fruit popsicles; metal in sourdough; and most recently ink in tofu.
Salmonella’s just the tip of the iceberg—lettuce, that is. American consumers are still reeling from the past few months’ deadly cyclospora outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce sourced from Taylor Farms facilities, and recalls of frozen blueberries for potential E. Coli contamination.
Obviously, there has been a sharp increase in the number of recalls. It’s not immediately clear whether the increase in recalls can be attributed to increased enforcement or more hazardous food—but the rapidly rising rate of recalls makes you wonder: Is this what making America healthy again looks like?
