This FDA Food action (record #F-0426-2013) was formally reported on October 31, 2012, with the manufacturer initiating the action on September 24, 2012. It is classified under Critical severity (Class I), with a current status of Terminated. Sunland, Incorporated is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Portales, NM. Federal records indicate 3,002 x 18 oz units are affected, a scale large enough to require multi-state distribution tracking.
The documented reason for this recall is: Sunland, Inc. is conducting a voluntary limited recall of its Almond, Peanut, and Cashew Butter products and Tahini and Roasted Blanched Peanut Products, manufactured between May 1, 2010 and September 24, 2012, because … Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: National distribution under various brand names including all 50 U.S. States with some international distribution Hong Kong.. 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 14 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.
