Recall Insight

This FDA Food action (record #F-0209-2017) was formally reported on October 26, 2016, with the manufacturer initiating the action on September 12, 2016. It is classified under Critical severity (Class I), with a current status of Terminated. NEW SEASONS MARKET is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Portland, OR. Federal records indicate 3741 units units are affected.

The documented reason for this recall is: New Seasons Markets is recalling their brand name Almond Butter due to a labeling error. Some of the jars labeled Almond Butter actually contain Peanut Butter. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Washington, Oregon and California New Seasons Markets. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by FDA Food. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 10 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
