About Food Recall Forensics

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.
