Walmart was named in 81 official U.S. recalls between January 1 and November 10, 2026, more than any other physical retailer, according to a Store Recalls report released November 13, 2026, [PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/store-recalls-report-finds-walmart-named-in-81-official-us-recalls-in-2026-more-than-any-other-physical-retailer-302938913.html) reported. Target followed with 25 notices and Costco with 19. ## How Store Recalls Counted Walmart's 81 Notices Store Recalls, a free website that sorts official U.S. recalls by the store named in each notice, counted every store mentioned in 826 recalls published by the Food and Drug Administration, the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Of those, 431 notices name at least one retailer. [Walmart](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00003tv/walmart) is the world's largest retailer, operating about 4,600 U.S. stores and serving 150 million weekly shoppers across 34 countries, according to company records. [Costco](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0002r5e/costco) was named in 19 notices, and its Black Friday 2026 ad scans are live, with markdowns rolling out in waves through Nov. 30, Mashable reported. [Amazon](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00000sz/amazon) was named in 336 notices, 306 of them CPSC recalls. In most of these, the notice says the product was sold online on Amazon.com, often by third-party sellers. Food and pet food made up 264 of the 826 recalls. Undeclared allergens were the most common reason, with 84 notices, followed by Salmonella with 52 and Listeria with 26. 35 recalls named two or more chains at once, among them murphy beds, dressers and a cheese bread sold at four grocery chains. The report counts a recall for a store only when the official text names the store or one of its store brands, such as Kirkland Signature for Costco or Great Value for Walmart, or when the retailer posts the recall on its own recall page. A store not being named does not mean a product was not sold there. Larger chains sell more products and appear in more notices, and the ranking is not a safety rating. "When a recall hits the news, shoppers ask one question first: was it sold at my store? The official notices often answer it, but you have to read every one to find out," said Alexandra Looks, Managing Director of Looks Einkaufs & Verwaltungs GmbH, which runs Store Recalls. "We only count a store when the notice names it, and we publish the sentence that does. A high count means a chain sells a lot, not that it is unsafe." ## Walmart's Grocery Share and Recall Exposure Walmart's FY2026 revenue was approximately $713.2 billion, up 4.7% year-over-year, and its Q1 FY27 revenue was $175.68 billion, up 6.08% year-over-year, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). Walmart holds 20.3% of the U.S. grocery market, ahead of Kroger at 8.7% and Costco at 8.3%, the same records show.
