10 Most Dangerous Foods

Reaching for a glass of milk or fresh produce may seem like a healthy choice. But before you pat yourself on the back, take heed: These and other food pyramid mainstays can turn harmful at the drop of a recall. Read on to see if your favorite snack or drink has made serial appearances on the Food and Drug Administration’s Most Unwanted list.

1. Milk
2007 marked the year of the Chinese milk scandal—a tragic case in which contaminated milk produced in China was responsible for killing at least six of the region’s children. The culprit: toxic levels of melamine, a chemical substance with a high nitrogen content that was added to diluted milk to fool quality-control equipment into believing that nitrogen from protein was present at normal levels. Globally, the deception hit hard as well; authorities from Australia and Asia to Europe and the U.S. withdrew infant formulas, coffee, tea, candies, soup, cheese, biscuits, premade desserts, and chocolate made from the tainted dairy product.

Since the harrowing incident, milk has continued to appear on the Food and Drug Administration’s recall list. Just this month, a national supplier of instant nonfat dry milk was responsible for multiple recalls by brands that utilized its salmonella-plagued product. Foods that contain the instant dry milk run the gamut, from hot chocolate mixes and protein drink powders to seasoned popcorn and cake mixes.

2. Red Tomatoes
In 2004, salmonella-infected Roma tomatoes caused multistate illnesses, and last summer the FDA again issued a code red after hundreds of people nationwide became ill and even hospitalized. Though the FDA deemed cherry, grape, and vine tomatoes to be safe, many Americans still abstained; even fast-food chains like McDonald’s erred on the side of caution, pulling tomatoes from their burgers even though no salmonella had been detected in its supply.

3. Beef
The UK has long dealt with mad cow disease, and in February 2008, the U.S. experienced a related scare after a video by the Humane Society depicted a California-based plant preparing “downer” cattle for slaughter. Though meat from nonambulatory cows puts consumers at a higher risk of contracting E. coli, salmonella, and mad cow disease—and is banned under federal law from entering the food supply—employees at the slaughterhouse were shown using inhumane practices to force weak cows to stand so they would pass inspection. In the wake of the leaked video, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recalled 143 million pounds of frozen beef. Between 2006 and 2008, there were more than 20 beef recalls in the U.S., with the most recent recall taking place in June: Right before the Fourth of July, the USDA launched a massive recall of E. coli–affected beef from a global producer.

4. Canned Soup
In 2004, a major canned-soup manufacturer issued recalls in seven states after metal fragments were detected in its New England clam chowder. Three years later, in 2007, another big-brand soup label notified retailers in 24 states that its Baked Potato with Cheddar & Bacon Bits might also contain hard plastic bits.

5. Bagged Spinach
Undoubtedly a superfood, packed with a multitude of nourishing vitamins, spinach, when purchased in the convenient prepackaged, salad-ready fashion, may be more harmful than it is healthful: Since 2006, when spinach contaminated with E. coli bacteria killed three people and shook consumer confidence in leafy green veggies, Popeye’s go-to snack has continued to be plagued by recalls. The most recent occurred in April, when a warning was issued for salmonella-infected spinach sold in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota.

6. Smoked Salmon
Salmon, lauded for its healthful omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and protein, isn’t without its risks as well. When shopping for the seafood favorite, your best bet is to buy fresh, not packaged and presliced. Over the past five years, the latter has repeatedly been recalled for containing listeria, bacteria that induces flulike symptoms and increases the risk of miscarriage and stillbirth in pregnant women.

7. Alfalfa Sprouts
Sprouts provide the perfect garnish to a tuna or veggie-packed sandwich, but they are often harbingers of bacteria. The latest recall occurred in April 2009, and the FDA investigation is ongoing. So far six states, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah, and West Virginia, have associated illness with salmonella-contaminated sprouts, and more than 30 cases of illness have sprouted.

8. Nuts
