Map insets

Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are shown as insets below the mainland — moved and rescaled so their recalls are visible at all. Their position and size on this map are not real. Puerto Rico alone accounts for 229 recalls.

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.
