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 9 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 9 separate recalls, which almost every published figure does, overstates it by a factor of 9. All 9 of them are listed on this page.
The recall ran for 9 months, from 20 November 2025 to termination on 28 August 2026. 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 12 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 6 weeks after the firm began the recall.
Recalls of fresh produce run a median of 7 months, so this one was longer than usual 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.
An unapproved ingredient recall means a product contained a substance not permitted in food, most often an undisclosed pharmaceutical active found in a dietary supplement.
A preventive controls plan covers an unapproved ingredient under the clauses below. This is where the control belongs, not a finding against any firm named on this page: a recall record states a reason, and most of these recalls were initiated by the firm itself.
21 CFR 111
Dietary supplement CGMP: the identity, purity, strength and composition specifications a supplement manufacturer sets and verifies for every component and finished batch.
21 CFR 117 subpart G
Supply-chain programme: the approval and verification a receiving facility runs on a supplier when the hazard is controlled before the ingredient arrives.
The FDA opened 9 enforcement records for this one recall, one per product code. This page carries all of them; the 8 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.

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.
21 CFR 111 is the clause behind this recall, and it is one somebody has to produce evidence for at their next audit. Krolda maps supplier documents to the clause they satisfy in FSSC 22000, IFS Food and 21 CFR 117, and routes the corrective action when the evidence is missing.
Recall records come from the openFDA food enforcement API, published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the public domain. Krolda adds the hazard classification and the clause mapping; neither is an FDA determination. Always check the FDA notice before acting on a recall.
