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 record is the only one the FDA opened for its recall event, so it covers a single product code.
• The recall ran for 5 months, from 5 January 2015 to termination on 27 May 2015. 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 weeks after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of nuts or seeds run a median of 7 months, so this one was shorter than usual for its category. Nuts and seeds carry both hazards at once: they are a major allergen in their own right, and as a low-moisture food they hold Salmonella for months without supporting its growth, which is why a nut butter recall can trace to a lot pressed a year earlier.

What this recall was for

Filed under nuts and seeds. A product can sit in more than one.

Other nuts and seeds 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.

Other records from Eillien's Candies, Inc.

The FDA opens one enforcement record per product code, so several of these are frequently one recall event. 17 other records name this firm.
