2019 was another big year for recalls. According to Food Safety Magazine, the FDA confirmed a total of 337 recalls and the USDA FSIS confirmed a total of 125 recalls last year alone. Between undeclared allergens, Listeria, Salmonella and E. coli outbreaks, as well as foreign material contamination, the year proved grueling for the world of food safety. And, this year appears to be following similar trends, including a major Salmonella outbreak this month that has affected nearly 900 people to date.

As the food industry grapples with the continued impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, many have wondered how food sustainability will be impacted by the crisis in the near and long term. Top concerns for consumers have pivoted strongly towards safety and speed, and some have even welcomed the return of less sustainable practices, like additional protective packaging, which were falling out of vogue prior to the coronavirus outbreak. However, general sustainability trends that were gaining momentum in the years leading up to the pandemic have not ceased, with new reports showing that sustainability markets remain resilient in the new normal.
