If you think you've noticed more food recalls late, then you're not alone, and there's one reason that's really driving the trend.

Contamination is driving a surge of recalls. Whenever food is recalled, it is almost always for one of three reasons: mislabeled products, undisclosed allergens and contamination issues.

Lately, most high-profile recalls are connected to contamination. Trader Joe's just recalled certain brands of cookies, soup, and falafel, because they had rocks and bugs.

One reason Trader Joe's said so many of its products have been recalled recently is because of where they come from.
