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 13 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 13 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 13. All 13 of them are listed on this page.
• The recall ran for 4 months, from 22 March 2015 to termination on 5 August 2015. 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 FDA published the enforcement report 3 months after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of a prepared meal or sandwich run a median of 6 months, so this one was about typical for its category. Prepared meals concentrate every other category's hazards into one package: they are assembled from many components, handled after any cook step, sold ready to eat, and carry an ingredient list long enough to lose an allergen in.

What this recall was for

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

Every product in this recall

The FDA opened 13 enforcement records for this one recall, one per product code. This page carries all of them; the 12 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 prepared meals and sandwiches 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.

Other records from Amys Kitchen Inc

The FDA opens one enforcement record per product code, so several of these are frequently one recall event. 18 other records name this firm.
