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 36 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 36 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 36. 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 36 of them.
- The recall ran for 8 months, from 11 January 2024 to termination on 5 September 2024. 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 5 weeks after the firm began the recall.
- Recalls of cheese run a median of 7 months, so this one was about typical for its category. Cheese dominates Listeria recalls among dairy products because soft and semi-soft varieties hold enough moisture for the organism to grow at refrigeration temperature, and because most are eaten without any further cooking step.
What this recall was for
Spoilage and mould
A spoilage recall means the food degraded before its date: mould growth, unintended fermentation, swelling or rancidity, usually traced to a seal, a formulation or a storage temperature.
A preventive controls plan covers spoilage under the clauses below. This is where the control belongs, not a finding against any firm named on this page: a recall record states a reason, and most of these recalls were initiated by the firm itself.
- 21 CFR 117.93
- Warehousing and distribution: storage and transport under conditions that protect food against contamination and against deterioration of the food and its container.
- 21 CFR 117.80(b)(3)
- Time and temperature: holding food at temperatures that do not allow microorganisms to grow, and for no longer than the process allows.
Filed under cheese. A product can sit in more than one.

21 CFR 117.93 is the clause behind this recall, and it is one somebody has to produce evidence for at their next audit. Krolda maps supplier documents to the clause they satisfy in FSSC 22000, IFS Food and 21 CFR 117, and routes the corrective action when the evidence is missing.
Early accessRecall records come from the openFDA food enforcement API, published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the public domain. Krolda adds the hazard classification and the clause mapping; neither is an FDA determination. Always check the FDA notice before acting on a recall.
