According to the recent article discussing the report, "undeclared allergens or other allergen concerns remained the primary cause of recalls during the second quarter, accounting for nearly 40% of food recalls initiate...[whereas] foodbourne illness concerns accounted for an additional 40% of recalls during the quarter."
