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 12 months, from 27 October 2014 to termination on 27 October 2015. 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 15 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 7 weeks after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of meat or poultry run a median of 8 months, so this one was longer 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: Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee. Those pages count recalls by where the RECALLING FIRM sits, which is a different question from where this product went.

Filed under meat and poultry and spices and seasonings. A product can sit in more than one.

Other meat and poultry 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 Kent Precision Foods Group, Inc.

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