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 6 weeks, from 24 October 2017 to termination on 7 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 distribution pattern names 6 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 4 weeks after the firm began the recall.
- Recalls of meat or poultry run a median of 8 months, so this one was shorter than usual for its category. Most meat and poultry is regulated by USDA FSIS rather than the FDA, so a product appearing in this FDA dataset is usually a closed-faced sandwich, a product with meat as a minor ingredient, or a food FSIS does not claim.
Named in the distribution pattern: Texas, Colorado, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska. 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
Process deviation
A process deviation recall means the process ran outside its validated limits: a thermal process that did not reach its time and temperature, a pH that drifted, or a seal that failed.
A preventive controls plan covers a process deviation 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 113
- Thermally processed low-acid foods in hermetically sealed containers: the scheduled process, its establishment by a competent authority, and the records proving every container received it.
- 21 CFR 114
- Acidified foods: the controls on equilibrium pH at or below 4.6, and the process that achieves it.
- 21 CFR 117.150
- Corrective actions: what a facility does when a preventive control was not properly implemented, including identifying and correcting the problem and evaluating the food for safety.
Filed under meat and poultry. A product can sit in more than one.

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.
All 2017 recalls · All FDA food recall data
21 CFR 113 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.
