Our Mission
At Food Recall Forensics, we believe every recall tells a story — and every story holds lessons that can save lives, protect brands, and strengthen the food industry. Our mission is simple: to uncover the root causes behind recalls, analyze their impact, and share strategies that help organizations prevent history from repeating itself.
Why Forensics?
When a recall strikes, it’s not just about pulling products from shelves. It’s about:
- Protecting consumers from harm
- Preserving public trust in food brands
- Complying with strict regulatory frameworks
- Managing financial and reputational damage
By digging deep into past recalls — from the infamous PCA Peanut Butter outbreak to modern allergen mislabeling cases — we bring clarity, context, and actionable insights to the professionals who need them most.
Who We Serve
Our work is designed for:
- Food safety and quality professionals
- Plant managers and directors
- Regulatory compliance officers
- Consultants and educators
- Students preparing to enter the food safety field
If recalls touch your world, this site is built for you.
Our Approach
We combine case studies, strategic playbooks, and real-world leadership insights to make food safety knowledge practical and accessible. Every recall analysis includes:
- The Breakdown: What happened, when, and why
- The Fallout: Costs, lawsuits, regulatory shifts, and brand damage
- The Lessons: What your organization can do differently today
- The Future: Trends, tactics, and leadership opportunities
About the Founder

Having worked directly with manufacturing teams, regulatory agencies, and recall management strategies, Bob saw a need for a resource that goes beyond headlines — one that unpacks the full story and provides tools that make a difference.
