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 is one of 26 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 26 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 26. 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 26 of them.
• The recall ran for 5 weeks, from 18 December 2022 to termination on 24 January 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 3 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 5 weeks after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of a sauce, dip or condiment run a median of 6 months, so this one was shorter than usual for its category. Sauces and dips sit at the intersection of the acidified foods rule and the allergen rule: an equilibrium pH above 4.6 turns a shelf-stable product into a botulism risk, and the ingredient list is long enough that an allergen is easy to lose.

Named in the distribution pattern: Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee. Those pages count recalls by where the RECALLING FIRM sits, which is a different question from where this product went.

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

Other sauces, dips and condiments 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 Klosterman Baking Company
