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 4 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 4 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 4. 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 4 of them.
• The recall ran for 18 months, from 23 August 2021 to termination on 3 March 2023. 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 3 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 5 weeks after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of a spice or seasoning run a median of 6 months, so this one was longer than usual for its category. Spices are a low-moisture, globally sourced, minimally processed ingredient that is added after any kill step, which is the combination that makes Salmonella in a spice lot capable of contaminating every product it was blended into.

Named in the distribution pattern: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York. Those pages count recalls by where the RECALLING FIRM sits, which is a different question from where this product went.

Filed under spices and seasonings. A product can sit in more than one.

Other spices and seasonings recalls

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.
