Almost two-thirds of food and beverage product recalls in Australia are driven by undeclared allergens—and 48% of those cases involve mixed or processed foods.
In the latest edition of Product Recall Monitor, we examine why mixed and processed foods are disproportionately represented in food and beverage product recalls and provide examples and their underlying causes. We also look at consumer goods recalls for the July 2024 to June 2025 period and provide recent recall examples.
Additionally, we introduce our new Food & Beverage Carcinogenic Contamination Endorsement and take an in-depth look at cadmium, a naturally occurring heavy metal and recognised human carcinogen that can enter the supply chain through multiple pathways.
