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 4 January 2013 to termination on 9 January 2014. 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 7 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 4 weeks after the firm began the recall.
Recalls of cheese run a median of 7 months, so this one was longer than usual 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.
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.
The firm is recalling Pork & Leek Dumplings because Shrimp & Pollack Fish dumplings were inadvertently packaged in the Pork & Leek Dumpling packaging. Undeclared allergens.
Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Dough (refrigerated) is packaged in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough packaging. Peanuts or peanut butter are not listed on the ingredient list or allergen statement.
The product packaging for Lighthouse Farmer's Market Veggie Burgers may contain Lightlife Kick'n Black Bean Burgers which contain milk. The milk allergen is not declared on the Farmer's Market Veggie Burger product label.
The kettle korn flavored ready-to-eat popcorn product may contain ready-to-eat white cheddar flavored popcorn which may pose a hazard to health due to undeclared milk.
Behind every recall is a clause 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.
Recall 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.
