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 22 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 22 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 22. 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 22 of them.
• The recall ran for 16 months, from 12 February 2016 to termination on 27 June 2017. 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 13 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 4 months after the firm began the recall.
• The product description on this record names no food this site can classify, so it appears on no food-type page. That is a limit of the description rather than of the recall.

Named in the distribution pattern: Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Virginia. Those pages count recalls by where the RECALLING FIRM sits, which is a different question from where this product went.
