Monthly Food Safety Recall Bulletin: June 2026

The period from mid-May to mid-June 2026 has been defined above all by a fatal Listeria monocytogenes outbreak in the United States linked to a small regional dairy, and by the continued unravelling of a multistate Salmonella investigation centred on imported dietary supplement ingredients. Across all six regulatory bodies covered in this bulletin, soft and fresh dairy products, ready-to-eat chilled meats, and minimally processed fresh foods once again accounted for the largest share of microbial notifications — categories in which post-process temperature control and cold chain integrity are the principal safety barriers. The UK Food Standards Agency also issued its first "Food Alert for Action" of 2026, targeting a frozen-food manufacturer unable to demonstrate that its products had been produced and handled safely. This bulletin summarises the most significant notifications from the FDA, CFIA, FSA, RASFF, FSAI, and FSANZ between mid-May and mid-June 2026 and considers what they suggest about current pressure points in thermal processing and cold chain management.
