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 8 weeks, from 16 November 2021 to termination on 11 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 11 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 4 weeks after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of fresh produce run a median of 7 months, so this one was shorter 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: Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, Wisconsin. 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 dietary supplements. A product can sit in more than one.
