Popular Foods That Get Recalled For The Riskiest Reasons

31. Raw Dough and Cookie Dough Products

Even when labeled “edible,” raw dough products have been recalled for both raw flour and contaminated eggs. “Safe to eat raw” cookie dough often includes heat-treated flour and pasteurized eggs—but manufacturing errors can still introduce pathogens. If in doubt, bake before you bite.

32. Imported Candies and Novelty Sweets

Candies imported from abroad, particularly novelty sweets or treats marketed to children, have been pulled from shelves for undeclared allergens, high lead content, and even embedded objects like plastic or metal. Products from unregulated manufacturers may bypass key safety checks. Always inspect packaging for strange labeling or damage, and check FDA recall notices if unsure.
