Recall Insight

This FDA Food action (record #F-1046-2016) was formally reported on April 20, 2016, with the manufacturer initiating the action on February 18, 2016. It is classified under Critical severity (Class I), with a current status of Terminated. Mt Perry Foods Inc is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Mount Perry, OH. Federal records indicate 36 sandwiches units are affected.

The documented reason for this recall is: Product labeled Chicken Salad Croissant sandwiches were made using Albacore Tuna Salad filling, therefore containing undeclared fish. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Product was sold in OH & WV.. 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 and NHTSA 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.
