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 2 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 2 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 2. 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 2 of them.
• The recall ran for 12 months, from 15 February 2024 to termination on 11 February 2025. 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 19 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 8 weeks after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of nuts or seeds run a median of 7 months, so this one was longer 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.

Named in the distribution pattern: Connecticut, Wisconsin, Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, Florida, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Tennessee, Maryland, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, Minnesota, Virginia, New York. Those pages count recalls by where the RECALLING FIRM sits, which is a different question from where this product went.

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

Other nuts and seeds 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.
