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 record is the only one the FDA opened for its recall event, so it covers a single product code.
- This recall has no termination date on the record, so as published it had not been terminated under 21 CFR 7.55.
- The distribution pattern names 3 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 5 weeks after the firm began the recall.
- Infant formula is the most tightly regulated food in the United States because it is frequently the only thing an infant eats, so a nutrient deviation is a hazard in a way it is not in any other product.
Named in the distribution pattern: Indiana, Minnesota, North Dakota. Those pages count recalls by where the RECALLING FIRM sits, which is a different question from where this product went.
Filed under infant formula and baby food, milk and dairy, fish and seafood, nuts and seeds, dietary supplements, snacks and confectionery, sauces, dips and condiments, spices and seasonings, grains, flour and pasta and beverages and juice. A product can sit in more than one.
Other infant formula and baby food 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.

Behind every recall is a clause 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.
Early accessRecall 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.
