To find out whether produce you bought is part of a recall, check the current official notice from the agency responsible for that food and compare every identifier and distribution detail it provides with your product. If it matches, do not eat it; follow the notice’s return or disposal instructions and clean affected surfaces as directed. A product name or similar appearance alone is not enough to confirm a match.
Where to check for a produce recall
Start with the official notice, not a general search result. The right agency depends on the food:
- FDA Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts covers FDA-regulated products. FDA notes that its public alerts do not include every recall.
- USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service recall information covers USDA-regulated foods, including meat, poultry, and processed egg products.
- FoodSafety.gov’s recall and outbreak page provides a shared widget with real-time FDA and USDA recall and public-health notices.
For a particular item, open the linked agency notice and follow its instructions. Recall details can change, so use the live notice to check current status.

- Product name, package size, and package type
- UPC, lot number, or other product code
- Sell-by, use-by, or expiration date
- Product photos, labels, or packaging description
- Distribution details, such as states, stores, or sales channels
FoodSafety.gov explains that recalls are specific: the available information must match for a product to be considered part of the recall. Do not treat a similar brand, produce item, or package as a confirmed match based on name or appearance alone.
What if the produce is loose or has no lot code?
Fresh produce may be sold without a consumer-facing label, package, or lot code, making it difficult to identify from a notice. Appearance alone may not resolve whether an item is affected. Investigators use traceback to identify potential sources, but consumers may not have enough information to do that themselves.

If the notice names a store, restaurant, or distribution area connected to where you got the produce, but your item cannot be matched using the listed identifiers, contact the store or consult the agency’s instructions. Do not assume an unlabeled item is safe merely because it looks different from a pictured product.
What to do if your produce matches the recall
- Do not eat it. Read the notice carefully and follow its product-specific instructions.
- Return or dispose of it as directed. Recalled food may be returnable for a refund. If disposal is directed, wrap it securely before putting it in the trash, and do not give it to people or pets.
- Clean affected surfaces and utensils. FDA advises washing refrigerator walls and shelves, cutting boards, countertops, and utensils. It recommends sanitizing with one tablespoon of chlorine bleach in one gallon of hot water, then washing your hands after cleaning. FoodSafety.gov also advises hot soapy water and a sanitizing solution for affected kitchen items. Follow the current notice and agency instructions for your situation.
- Get medical advice if needed. If someone develops symptoms or has a serious allergic reaction after eating a product, contact a health care provider.
Example: details in a dated produce notice
A CDC notice dated September 24, 2026, about an outbreak linked to broccoli sprouts produced by Evergreen Fresh Sprouts LLC identified plastic bags or clamshell containers with expiration dates of September 7, 9, 11, 14, and 16. It said the sprouts were sold to food co-ops, restaurants, food-service customers, and grocery stores in Idaho, Montana, and Washington, and that product may have been distributed farther. CDC instructed consumers not to eat the sprouts and to throw them away or return them. This is a dated example of the details a notice may provide, not a claim that the recall is still active; check the live notice for current status.
