Last fall, the co-editor-in-chief of the journal retracted the 2000 paper, citing methodological concerns and concerns about ghostwriting and the financial independence of the authors. Christopher Borgert organized a group of more than 60 toxic chemical and environmental health researchers to push back on the recent retraction.

By the end of September 2025, the USDA and FDA had recorded 445 recalls, the highest total since 2020. Nearly all U.S. adults are concerned about the frequency of food recalls.
