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 9 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 9 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 9. All 9 of them are listed on this page.
• The recall ran for 3 months, from 30 October 2018 to termination on 1 February 2019. 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 1 state, and the FDA published the enforcement report 8 weeks after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of fresh produce run a median of 7 months, so this one was shorter than usual for its category. Fresh produce is the category where contamination arrives before the facility does: irrigation water, soil amendments and field workers are the routes, and nothing downstream of the farm is a kill step for a product eaten raw.

Filed under fresh produce and beverages and juice. A product can sit in more than one.

Other fresh produce 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.
