Texas residents affected by a third of all food recalls from past five years, according to study

Texas residents were affected by more than a third of all U.S. food recalls between 2020 and 2024, according to a new study from packaged goods compliance firm Trace One.  Roughly 34.5% of all food recalls during the study's five-year period affected Texas consumers, meaning the state had the nation's fifth-highest recall rate during that time. What's more, researchers found that the Lone Star State was the third-highest producer of recalled food.
