Reading this record

Five things about this record are not in the record itself, and each one changes how it should be read.

• Class I means the FDA judged a reasonable probability that the product would cause serious health consequences or death. 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 134 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 134 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 134. All 134 of them are listed on this page.
• The recall ran for 7 months, from 22 April 2015 to termination on 6 November 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 15 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 5 months after the firm began the recall.
• Recalls of ice cream or frozen dessert run a median of 7 months, so this one was about typical for its category. Ice cream and frozen desserts are ready to eat and never cooked again, and freezing preserves Listeria rather than killing it, which is why a positive environmental sample in a frozen dessert plant becomes a recall rather than a corrective action.

Named in the distribution pattern: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas. Those pages count recalls by where the RECALLING FIRM sits, which is a different question from where this product went.

Filed under ice cream and frozen desserts and milk and dairy. A product can sit in more than one.

Every product in this recall

The FDA opened 134 enforcement records for this one recall, one per product code. This page carries all of them; the 133 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 ice cream and frozen desserts 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.
