Popular Foods That Get Recalled For The Riskiest Reasons

23. Plant-Based Meat Alternatives: Not Always the Safer Option

As demand for plant-based meats rises, so do the recalls. These products can contain undeclared allergens like soy, wheat, or nuts—posing hidden dangers for those with sensitivities. Additionally, some have been recalled due to contamination from pathogens like Listeria or metal fragments introduced during high-volume manufacturing. Because they're often processed in shared facilities, cross-contamination is a real concern. Always check labels and recall alerts if you're relying on these products for regular meals.
