Reading this record

Five things about this record are not in the record itself, and each one changes how it should be read.

• Class III means the FDA judged that the product was unlikely to cause harm but violated FDA labelling or manufacturing regulation. 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 21 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 21 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 21. 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 21 of them.
• The recall ran for 14 months, from 3 March 2023 to termination on 3 May 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 FDA published the enforcement report 2 months after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of a prepared meal or sandwich run a median of 6 months, so this one was longer than usual for its category. Prepared meals concentrate every other category's hazards into one package: they are assembled from many components, handled after any cook step, sold ready to eat, and carry an ingredient list long enough to lose an allergen in.

What this recall was for

The allergens named in this record: fish, crustacean shellfish.

Filed under prepared meals and sandwiches. A product can sit in more than one.

Other prepared meals and sandwiches 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.
