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 44 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 44 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 44. 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 44 of them.
• The recall ran for 7 weeks, from 19 October 2017 to termination on 5 December 2017. 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 FDA published the enforcement report 4 weeks after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of a spice or seasoning run a median of 6 months, so this one was shorter than usual for its category. Spices are a low-moisture, globally sourced, minimally processed ingredient that is added after any kill step, which is the combination that makes Salmonella in a spice lot capable of contaminating every product it was blended into.

What this recall was for

Filed under spices and seasonings, grains, flour and pasta and prepared meals and sandwiches. A product can sit in more than one.

Other spices and seasonings recalls for the same reason

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