Reading this record

Five things about this record are not in the record itself, and each one changes how it should be read.

• Class I means the FDA judged a reasonable probability that the product would cause serious health consequences or death. The class is assigned by an agency health hazard evaluation under 21 CFR 7.41, not by the firm.
• The firm started this recall itself. Most FDA food recalls are voluntary, and a recall is a food safety plan working rather than failing. The circumstances in which the agency asks for one instead are set out in 21 CFR 7.45.
• This record is the only one the FDA opened for its recall event, so it covers a single product code.
• The recall ran for 10 months, from 14 October 2020 to termination on 19 August 2021. Termination means the agency judged that all reasonable effort had been made, under 21 CFR 7.55, and it says nothing about whether product remained in circulation.
• The distribution pattern names 21 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 3 weeks after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of fresh produce run a median of 7 months, so this one was longer than usual for its category. Fresh produce is the category where contamination arrives before the facility does: irrigation water, soil amendments and field workers are the routes, and nothing downstream of the farm is a kill step for a product eaten raw.

Named in the distribution pattern: New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Ohio, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, North Carolina, Maryland, West Virginia, Kansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Texas, Georgia, Colorado, Virginia, Indiana, North Dakota. Those pages count recalls by where the RECALLING FIRM sits, which is a different question from where this product went.

Filed under fresh produce and sauces, dips and condiments. A product can sit in more than one.

Other fresh produce recalls

These are the closest records in the corpus: the same kind of food. Unlike the firm’s own records below, they come from different companies, which is what makes them a pattern rather than a history.

Other records from Hadson (Toko) Trading Co., Inc.

The FDA opens one enforcement record per product code, so several of these are frequently one recall event.
