- In the latest round of recalls, not only food manufacturers, but also a pet products company have issued warnings, indicating concerns across diverse industries such as food-and-drink, general-news, and lifestyle.
- The financial implications of these recalls extend beyond the food industry, with Fresh & Ready Foods, LLC recalling a significant number of their ready-to-eat products and Hormel Foods Corporation recalling canned Dinty Moore Beef Stew.
- As the transportation industry was unaffected by any recall announcements in May 2025, consumers might be relieved. However, it's crucial to stay vigilant about product safety in areas like food-and-drink and pet-care, given recent incidents like the Listeria monocytogenes contamination in ready-to-eat foods.
