Foodie Website Lists Biggest Food Recalls of 2016

The Daily Meal, a website devoted to "all things food and drink," recently released its list of the 11 biggest food recalls of 2016.

The website noted "Food recalls can vary in degree, scope, and severity. For example if a company forgets to label a package with a certain allergen — such as “manufactured in a facility that uses egg ingredients” — that is grounds for a recall. If a company releases a product that has undeclared wheat, milk, or nuts, that too is grounds for a recall. And then there are the more serious reasons for companies to issue a recall, such as potential contamination by a harmful pathogen like listeria, E. coli, or salmonella."

With that it mind, the site listed the following 11 cases.

Bumble Bee Canned Tuna

Cedar Crest Ice Cream

CRF Frozen Foods

Dole Salads

Eggo Waffles

General Mills Flour

Hostess Cakes and Doughnuts

Huisken Meat Company Beef

Oriental Packing Company Curry Powder

Pilgrim's Pride Poultry
