Why It Matters
According to a recent report from Civic Science, more than 80 percent of Americans are worried about food recalls. Nearly a third of respondents said that they were very worried. The data was based on more than 2,000 U.S. adults, collected between December 2 and 4, and then weighted to be nationally representative.
Products can be recalled for a number of reasons. Some of the grocery store's products were recalled due to possible contamination of bacteria like Listeria monocytogenes which can cause serious infections.
