Why it was recalled

Firm's internal sampling identified a positive Salmonella result on Item 00113 that was on hand at the firm on 7/15/2022. Firm elected to hold all inventory between the sanitation break from 7/5/2022 - 7/18/2022. Some product from within that time frame was shipped to customers. Although none of the products on the recall list tested positive for Salmonella, out of an abundance of caution the firm elected to proceed with a recall on the shipped products.

Class I is the FDA’s most serious recall level: there is a reasonable probability that using this product will cause serious harm or death.
