FDA recall: what the record actually shows

This notice was issued by FDA on September 22, 2026 and geographically references United States. The FDA classifies this as a Class I recall, with the stated reason "Potential E. coli and Salmonella contamination", distributed wholesale consignees in 16 states: ca, fl, hi, il, ma, mn, mo, mt, ny, oh, or, pa, tn, sc, tx, ut; puerto rico; canada, mexico, tahiti, and venezuela. FDA recall classes run from I (reasonable probability of serious harm) to III (unlikely to cause harm), so the class number is the fastest way to gauge severity here. The category it belongs to - FDA Recalls - determines the consumer-protection framework behind it, which shapes what remedies (refunds, replacements, repairs, or the recall itself) are available to affected consumers and which agency holds statutory responsibility for enforcement.
