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 months, from 22 March 2021 to termination on 8 November 2021. 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 FDA published the enforcement report 3 weeks after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of nuts or seeds run a median of 7 months, so this one was about typical for its category. Nuts and seeds carry both hazards at once: they are a major allergen in their own right, and as a low-moisture food they hold Salmonella for months without supporting its growth, which is why a nut butter recall can trace to a lot pressed a year earlier.

Filed under nuts and seeds and grains, flour and pasta. A product can sit in more than one.

Other nuts and seeds 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 Simply Delicious Inc.

The FDA opens one enforcement record per product code, so several of these are frequently one recall event.
