Google’s John Mueller said in Friday’s video that he reviewed a bunch of recipe related queries and notices a nice number of sites using rich results markup incorrectly. He said it might lead Google to automating the removal of those rich results for those sites.

He said structured data for rich results, including recipe listicles, should not be used on list pages. He said “it should be just one item on the page and it shouldn’t be like a list of recipes for you to use the recipe markup.”

John said that based on the queries given in the example question “they’re just a lot of websites that are doing this.” So he said “I think the smarter approach would be on our side to see if we can algorithmically recognize this and kind of just not show those rich results for those kind of pages. So instead of manually trying to chase everyone down, find a way to do that in a more scalable way.”

So maybe, just maybe, in the nearish future, you may see a lot of these recipe sites lose some of their rich results.

This came up at the 8:20 mark into the video.
