Recalls by hazard

Agencies file recalls by product and by classification, not by what went wrong. Hazard tags cut the archive the other way: every recall caused by Listeria monocytogenes, or by an undeclared milk allergen, or by a lithium battery that can overheat, regardless of which agency issued it or what aisle the product sits in.

The most common hazards are listed first. For what these pathogens actually do and who is most at risk, see the pathogen risk guide and the glossary.
