Recall Insight

This FDA Food action (record #F-0718-2017) was formally reported on December 21, 2016, with the manufacturer initiating the action on September 28, 2016. It is classified under Moderate severity (Class II), with a current status of Terminated. Clear Spring Foods Specialty Products Plant Inc. is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Buhl, ID. Federal records indicate 4720 lbs. bulk pack - 10 lbs. case units are affected, a scale large enough to require multi-state distribution tracking.

The documented reason for this recall is: Product recalled due to potential contamination with E. coli bacteria. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: AZ, CA, IA, MO, and PA No foreign distribution No DoD distribution. 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.
