Welcome to Recalled

Recalled is your shortcut to food and product safety. Every week, I break down what’s under recall, why it matters, how to ID it, and what to do next, fast and clearly. Why? Because most people don’t have hours to scroll through FDA, USDA, CDC, FSIS, and CPSC recall alerts. But I do.

I started posting food and product recalls on social because I was tired of seeing vital safety info buried under celebrity news. Turns out, I’m not alone. Those posts went viral, and the hundreds of DMs I’ve received (“I had this in my fridge, thank you!”) remind me why this matters.
