About the FDA CFSAN
This recall was issued by the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), which oversees most packaged foods, produce, seafood, dietary supplements, and bottled water sold in the United States. The FDA monitors the food supply through facility inspections, laboratory testing, import screening, and consumer reports. When a contamination or labeling problem is found, the FDA works with the company on a voluntary recall or requests a mandatory one. Recalls are classified by severity: Class I (reasonable probability of serious harm or death), Class II (possible temporary adverse effects, remote probability of serious harm), Class III (unlikely to cause health effects, but violates regulations).
