Product description from the FDA enforcement report:
A recall almost never means "every jar of this brand, ever." It means a specific run of a specific product. To know whether the package in your kitchen is affected, you need to match the identifiers in the recall notice against the ones printed on your package:
- Product name and brand (exact, including the variety or flavor)
- UPC / barcode number (the 12-digit number under the barcode)
- Lot or batch code (often a string of letters and numbers near the seam or bottom)
- "Best by," "use by," or expiration date
- Package size (a 4-oz jar and an 8-oz jar can be different lots)
If the notice lists specific lot codes and yours isn't on the list, your package likely isn't part of the recall. If you can't find the codes, or they're worn off, the safe move is to treat it as recalled and not feed it.
If your product is recalled: stop using it. Most notices tell you to either dispose of it or return it to the store for a refund. Don't donate it or pass it along. If your child has already eaten it and you have any concern, call your pediatrician, and in an emergency call 911 (US) or your local emergency number.
Recall classes: how serious is it?
The FDA sorts recalls into three classes by how much risk the product poses. Knowing the class tells you how urgently to act.
| Class | What it means | Plain-English read |
|---|---|---|
| Class I | "A reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death." | The most serious. Stop using it now. Undeclared allergens are the leading cause of Class I food recalls, and serious contamination recalls land here too. |
| Class II | Use "may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences," or the risk of serious harm is remote. | Real but lower risk. Still worth acting on. |
| Class III | Use is "not likely to cause adverse health consequences." | Usually a labeling or quality issue, not a safety emergency. |
