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 5 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 5 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 5. All 5 of them are listed on this page.
The recall ran for 7 months, from 14 March 2018 to termination on 4 October 2018. 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 2 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 3 weeks after the firm began the recall.
Recalls of meat or poultry run a median of 8 months, so this one was about typical for its category. Most meat and poultry is regulated by USDA FSIS rather than the FDA, so a product appearing in this FDA dataset is usually a closed-faced sandwich, a product with meat as a minor ingredient, or a food FSIS does not claim.
Named in the distribution pattern: Illinois, Arkansas. Those pages count recalls by where the RECALLING FIRM sits, which is a different question from where this product went.
Salmonella is a bacterium that survives in low-moisture foods for months, which is why it appears in recalls of products that carry no water for it to grow in: nut butters, spices, flour and dry pet food.
A preventive controls plan covers Salmonella contamination 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 117.135(c)(1)
Process controls: the controls that apply a treatment, such as a validated kill step, at the point where it reduces the hazard to a safe level.
21 CFR 117 subpart G
Supply-chain programme: the approval and verification a receiving facility runs on a supplier when the hazard is controlled before the ingredient arrives.
21 CFR 117.165(a)(2)
Product testing: testing as a verification activity, appropriate to the facility, the food and the nature of the preventive control.
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.
The FDA opened 5 enforcement records for this one recall, one per product code. This page carries all of them; the 4 below each have their own page with that product’s lot codes and distribution, and search engines are pointed here for the recall as a whole.

Other meat and poultry 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.
Raw breaded chicken patties were inadvertently used in the ready to eat Burger Chicken Fillet sandwich. Raw breaded chicken patties pose a risk of foodborne illness due to the potential presence of Salmonella.
Raw breaded chicken patties were inadvertently used in the ready to eat Burger Chicken Deluxe With Bacon sandwich. Raw breaded chicken patties pose a risk of foodborne illness due to the potential presence of Salmonella.
21 CFR 117.135(c)(1) 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.
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.
