Weirdly, the input numbers are way different from what is implied by the screenshot, but your math still very much checks out. In total, 75,250 individual packages of tofu have been recalled, and equivalent varieties of tofu retail for $5.50 per package, which makes roughly $414k (though 30 package cases are presumably less expensive per unit than individual packages, so skew that down a bit), just under a tenth of a percent of the market.
That’s reasonable, and maybe it’s more accurate to the typical size of a case of tofu than I realized.
Reporting 10k 6-unit cases, 500 30-unit cases, and 180 units as 10k+ cases (which news sources are also doing) just seems like it shouldn’t lead to good ballpark estimates though

Yeah I just did a quick search for how much a case of tofu cost lol. I got $28-60, so went with the high end of that.
