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 is one of 16 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 16 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 16. All 16 of them are listed on this page.
• The recall ran for 2.5 years, from 10 October 2014 to termination on 28 March 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 2 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 2 months 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: Florida, Tennessee. 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

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

Every product in this recall

The FDA opened 16 enforcement records for this one recall, one per product code. This page carries all of them; the 15 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 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 Oasis Brands, Inc

The FDA opens one enforcement record per product code, so several of these are frequently one recall event. 16 other records name this firm.
