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 10 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 10 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 10. All 10 of them are listed on this page.
• The recall ran for 6 months, from 20 July 2012 to termination on 22 January 2013. 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 4 months after the firm began the recall.
• The product description on this record names no food this site can classify, so it appears on no food-type page. That is a limit of the description rather than of the recall.
