Reading this record
Five things about this record are not in the record itself, and each one changes how it should be read.
- Class II means the FDA judged a remote probability of serious harm, or a probability of temporary or medically reversible harm. 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 14 months, from 23 November 2020 to termination on 26 January 2022. 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 5 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 5 weeks after the firm began the recall.
- Recalls of fish or seafood run a median of 5 months, so this one was longer than usual for its category. Fish and fishery products are the one food category with their own HACCP regulation in the United States, 21 CFR part 123, because the hazards are species-specific: histamine in scombroid fish, ciguatera in reef fish, and Listeria in cold-smoked products.
Named in the distribution pattern: Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland. Those pages count recalls by where the RECALLING FIRM sits, which is a different question from where this product went.
What this recall was for
Viral and parasitic contamination
Hepatitis A, norovirus and Cyclospora recalls trace back to a person or to water rather than to the process: an infected food handler, or produce irrigated or washed with contaminated water.
A preventive controls plan covers viral or parasitic contamination under the clauses below. This is where the control belongs, not a finding against any firm named on this page: a recall record states a reason, and most of these recalls were initiated by the firm itself.
- 21 CFR 117.10
- Personnel: the hygiene practices, and the exclusion of anyone with an illness or open lesion that could contaminate food, that a facility must require.
- 21 CFR 112
- Produce safety: the agricultural water, worker health and hygiene standards for farms growing produce eaten raw.
- 21 CFR 117 subpart G
- Supply-chain programme: the approval and verification a receiving facility runs on a supplier when the hazard is controlled before the ingredient arrives.
Filed under fish and seafood. A product can sit in more than one.
Other fish and seafood 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.
Other records from Shenandoah Growers, Inc.
The FDA opens one enforcement record per product code, so several of these are frequently one recall event.

21 CFR 117.10 is the clause behind this recall, and it is one somebody has to produce evidence for at their next audit. Krolda maps supplier documents to the clause they satisfy in FSSC 22000, IFS Food and 21 CFR 117, and routes the corrective action when the evidence is missing.
Early accessRecall records come from the openFDA food enforcement API, published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the public domain. Krolda adds the hazard classification and the clause mapping; neither is an FDA determination. Always check the FDA notice before acting on a recall.
