description ObjectiveTo study the implementation of food recalls managed by U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and explore experiences for the food recalling in China.MethodsFood recall information was collected from FDA website. The information was analyzed by EXCEL 2013.ResultsInformation including 461 recall events and 1734 types of food were obtained from the weekly enforcement reports in 2019. Sixty percent of the recalls were class Ⅱ. About one third of recalls were class Ⅰ. Milk products were the most frequently recalled food, accounted for 17.88% of the total recalling food. Microbiology contamination was the main recall reason, resultsing in 31.45% of recall events and 37.89% of recall food types. Not notifying allergen was responsible for 35.01% of the recall events, which was the highest proportion among the reasons. The proportion of recall food types caused by not notifying allergen was only 18.40%. Inappropriate proceeding resulted in 3.47% of recall events and 24.63% of recall food types, respectively. More than 99% of the recalls were carried voluntarily by food firms except 4 mandatory recalls by FDA.ConclusionFood recall is implemented efficiently in America. FDA publishes food recall information and makes it easily obtainable to public. Manufacture process monitoring is a high efficiency food safety managing measure. Food firms have strong conscientiousness to recall defective food voluntarily. It’s important to promote the participation of the public, transfer the traditional end-product managing model, and cultivate the conscientiousness of the firms for the implementation of food recall in China.
