Recall Insight

This FDA Food action (record #F-1465-2024) was formally reported on July 17, 2024, with the manufacturer initiating the action on May 24, 2024. It is classified under Critical severity (Class I), with a current status of Terminated. Dairy Manufacturers, Inc is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Prosper, TX. Federal records indicate 5376 cans units are affected.

The documented reason for this recall is: The firm has not submitted the required premarket notification, parents and caregivers should understand that the products have not been evaluated to determine whether they meet U.S. food safety and nutritional standard… Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Throughout Texas. 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 2 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.
