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 is one of 409 records covering the same recall event. The FDA opens one enforcement record per product code, so a recall of a product line appears here many times. Counting these records as 409 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 409. Every product code in this event is listed together on the record that covers the whole recall, which is the page a search engine is pointed to for all 409 of them.
• The recall ran for 8 months, from 3 February 2023 to termination on 17 October 2023. 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 9 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 7 weeks after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of fresh produce run a median of 7 months, so this one was about typical 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: Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, District of Columbia, New Jersey, North Carolina, Connecticut, South Carolina, Virginia. Those pages count recalls by where the RECALLING FIRM sits, which is a different question from where this product went.
