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 21 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 21 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 21. All 21 of them are listed on this page.
• The recall ran for 8 months, from 27 October 2017 to termination on 9 July 2018. 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 20 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 5 weeks after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of a snack or confectionery product run a median of 7 months, so this one was about typical for its category. Snacks and confectionery recall for allergens more than for anything else, because a chocolate or a coated snack passes through shared equipment carrying milk, soy and nuts, and the label is the only control between them and the consumer.

Named in the distribution pattern: Indiana, Illinois, Florida, Texas, California, Nevada, Oregon, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Puerto Rico, Ohio, Rhode Island, Iowa. 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

The allergens named in this record: milk.

Filed under snacks and confectionery and beverages and juice. A product can sit in more than one.

Every product in this recall

The FDA opened 21 enforcement records for this one recall, one per product code. This page carries all of them; the 20 below each have their own page with that product’s lot codes and distribution, and search engines are pointed here for the recall as a whole.

Other snacks and confectionery 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 GKI Foods, LLC

The FDA opens one enforcement record per product code, so several of these are frequently one recall event. 21 other records name this firm.
