Recall Insight

This FDA Food action (record #F-0369-2017) was formally reported on November 9, 2016, with the manufacturer initiating the action on October 11, 2016. It is classified under Moderate severity (Class II), with a current status of Terminated. Roland Foods, LLC. is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of New York, NY. Federal records indicate 905 cases (12 jars per case) units are affected.

The documented reason for this recall is: The product contains undeclared sulfites based on sampling and analysis by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and private laboratory testing. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Nationwide, Canada, and Nether Antilles. 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.
