If you have been a longtime reader of Food Poisoning Bulletin, you may have noticed that food recalls have decreased substantially in the past few months. The USDA has issued three recalls since January 24, 2020: One was issued on February 8, 2020, and two were issued on April 10, 2020. The FDA has had more recalls, with seven in the month of April 2020(including three recalls for enoki mushrooms as part of a Listeria monocytogenes outbreak), but that is far below normal. What is happening to FDA and USDA food recalls?
Interestingly RASFF Alerts in Europe are also down?
