On July 23, 2018, Pepperidge Farm announced that Flavor Blasted Xtra Cheddar Goldfish crackers have been recalled due to possible salmonella contamination in the whey powder they use. The recall also included Flavor Blasted Sour Cream and Onion, Whole Grain Xtra Cheddar and Xtra Cheddar and Pretzel. [101] According to reports by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Enforcement, more than 3,000 foods were recalled in the United States in 2016. Isolated recalls caused by contamination by foreign objects (physical contamination by metal, glass, plastic, wood, etc.) increased by 76% in 2016 compared to 2015. This increase in 2016 is even more marked when we consider the number of products recalled (unlike the recall event) due to the contamination of the foreign body. In 2016, 422 products were recalled for foreign body contamination, up from 108 in 2015; 300%. The recall is an attempt to limit the ruin of the company`s image and to limit liability in cases of corporate negligence, which can entail considerable legal costs. It can be difficult, if not impossible, to determine how costly it can be to release a product that could endanger a person`s life and economic loss from unwanted advertising. Recalls are expensive. Costs include handling the recalled product, replacing it and possibly financial liability for the consequences of the recalled product. Low-cost production often leads to low quality, and outsourcing leads to a change in knowledge of techniques and processes.

[93] In this way, technical errors occur rather because of communication problems between the different players in the supply chain and the lack of definition of technical interfaces. Despite the increase in the number of recalls, a study by Mojo Motors, Inc. showed that only 0.005 percent of customers request reminders when they go to dealerships. [94] Since 1966, 390 million vehicles have been recalled to the United States. [95] In 2018, 29 million cars were recalled. That number dropped from a peak of 50 million in 2016, but recalls are increasing on average. In the last five years, more cars have been recalled than between 2003 and 2014. [96] Each year, there are several feeds and delicious reminders due to damaged or spoiled ingredients. Perhaps the best known was in 2007. The pet recalls in 2007 involved the massive recall of many brands of cats and dog food from March 2007.

The recalls were made in response to reports of kidney failure in domestic animals, which, as of February 2007, mainly consumed wet feed containing wheat gluten in a single Chinese company. The recall began voluntarily with Canadian company Menu Foods on March 16, 2007, when a company test showed illness and death in some of the laboratory animals. In total, several large companies have recalled 150 different food brands with more than 5,000 pet foods. The FDA and USDA investigation revealed that the food was deliberately contaminated with the melamine chemical. [98] National consumer protection legislation will have specific requirements for product recalls. Such rules may include the amount of costs incurred by manufacturers, situations in which the recall is mandatory (usually because the risk is high enough) or non-recall penalties. The company may also voluntarily recall, possibly subject to the same rules, as if the recall were mandatory. (1) Two or more governments may enter into an agreement that is in effect for these periods and may be extended for future periods, provided the agreement provides – However, pet food recalls are not uncommon. The 2007 recall stands out and is known for the size, size and number of animals involved.
