Chemical contamination

Lead, arsenic, pesticides, natural toxins such as aflatoxin, or histamine in fish. Some of these cause harm only with repeated exposure (lead in spices, for example), others act within hours (histamine poisoning from spoiled fish).

578 FDA food recalls with this as the main cause, newest first.
