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 7 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 7 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 7. 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 7 of them.
• The recall ran for 2.5 years, from 21 October 2014 to termination on 8 May 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 11 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 6 weeks after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of milk or a dairy product run a median of 7 months, so this one was longer than usual for its category. Dairy recalls split between pathogen contamination in products that skipped or under-ran pasteurisation and undeclared milk in products that should never have contained it, which is the same allergen viewed from two directions.

Named in the distribution pattern: New Mexico, Colorado, Washington, Kansas, Louisiana, New York, Texas, Arizona, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia. 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: wheat.

Filed under milk and dairy, meat and poultry and prepared meals and sandwiches. A product can sit in more than one.

Other milk and dairy 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 Los Chileros De Nuevo Mexico, LTD
