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 7 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 7 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 7. All 7 of them are listed on this page.
• The recall ran for 3 months, from 25 June 2015 to termination on 8 October 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 distribution pattern names 1 state, and the FDA published the enforcement report 2 months after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of pet or animal food run a median of 8 months, so this one was shorter than usual for its category. Animal food is regulated under its own preventive controls rule at 21 CFR part 507, and a pet food recall is frequently a human health recall too, because Salmonella in dry pet food reaches people through the bowl and the hands rather than through eating it.

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.
