Some of this is attributed to better testing methods, but this is also a good reason why corporate structures in food need to do a good job vetting suppliers - which is very difficult. This is a good reason to utilize small companies that source locally... they know their suppliers. With a different company I used to work for, the corporate group decided to save a buck a pound of ingredient - it later cost them $8 million when the ingredient was found to be tainted with ground up plastic.
 
Did some checking... looks like folks HERE are in the clear for now.... everything listed recently was beef, chicken, shrimp-this, meat-that, beef jerky, pork, hot dogs, corn dogs, catfish, etc., etc....

Still should probably watch out for the scary flour and those listeria-laden fruits & veggies....
 
Please note not everything is a food recall.
