Walmart has established itself as a primary grocery retailer, with nearly 60% of its revenue sourced from food sales, significantly influencing online grocery shopping. However, the increase in food recalls, which surged by 20% from 2020 to 2023, presents challenges for large retailers like Walmart. Notable recalls include a infamous salmonella outbreak linked to its Great Value brand peanut butter in 2006. As awareness around food safety heightens, Walmart's strategy to create a seamless shopping experience must also prioritize consumer health and safety amidst increasing recall occurrences.
In one of the largest and worst food recalls in U.S. history, peanut butter was pulled from retailer's shelves nationwide after being linked to a large salmonella outbreak that sickened more than 700 people.
Between 2002 and 2023, there have been more than 35,000 food recalls in the U.S., with a 20 percent increase from 2020 to 2023 alone, affecting retailers like Walmart.
