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 3 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 3 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 3. All 3 of them are listed on this page.
• The recall ran for 6 months, from 27 July 2015 to termination on 3 February 2016. 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 9 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 5 weeks after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of fresh produce run a median of 7 months, so this one was about typical for its category. Fresh produce is the category where contamination arrives before the facility does: irrigation water, soil amendments and field workers are the routes, and nothing downstream of the farm is a kill step for a product eaten raw.

Named in the distribution pattern: Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Kansas, Alabama, Iowa, Washington, Minnesota, New York. Those pages count recalls by where the RECALLING FIRM sits, which is a different question from where this product went.

Filed under fresh produce, meat and poultry and spices and seasonings. A product can sit in more than one.

Every product in this recall

The FDA opened 3 enforcement records for this one recall, one per product code. This page carries all of them; the 2 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 fresh produce 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.

Other records from Bruce Foods Corporation

The FDA opens one enforcement record per product code, so several of these are frequently one recall event.
