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 record is the only one the FDA opened for its recall event, so it covers a single product code.
• The recall ran for 4 months, from 15 June 2012 to termination on 19 October 2012. 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 fish or seafood run a median of 5 months, so this one was about typical for its category. Fish and fishery products are the one food category with their own HACCP regulation in the United States, 21 CFR part 123, because the hazards are species-specific: histamine in scombroid fish, ciguatera in reef fish, and Listeria in cold-smoked products.

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

Filed under fish and seafood. A product can sit in more than one.

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.

Other records from Wang Globalnet
