Recalls and outbreaks are different situations but can overlap. Most (not all) recalls happening now are from the company who makes the product, and often (but not always) done before anyone gets sick. Sometimes its a genuine mistake in the company. Other times its some mix of bad leadership and management, poor competence, and no regard for social responsibility. Outbreaks are later in time, meaning the contaminated products have already been out for a while, people have interacted with and consumed them, and people have gotten sick from food poisoning and the like, and now the local and federal agencies have to investigate. Recall situations are easier to control. Outbreaks, like the cyclospora one, are much more unpredictable and harder to control. In this environment, you can control what you pay attention to, and it is best to see the current recalls and alerts from FDA and CDC. The fact that were still hearing about them means the system isnt completely turned to mush right now, despite the ongoing narratives. But you still have to do what you need to, to protect yourself.
