The three boxes below the map

Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are drawn in boxes below the mainland, moved closer and resized so they fit on screen — the same thing weather and election maps do. Their position and size there are not real. Without this they sit far off the edge and their recalls are invisible; Puerto Rico alone accounts for 229.

Each point is the recalling firm's location — usually a distributor or processor. It is not where contamination originated, and not necessarily where the product was sold.
