Recall Insight

This FDA Food action (record #F-1617-2016) was formally reported on July 13, 2016, with the manufacturer initiating the action on September 21, 2015. It is classified under Low severity (Class III), with a current status of Terminated. Zarbee's Naturals Inc. is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Draper, UT. Federal records indicate 41,565 units units are affected.

The documented reason for this recall is: Some units of each lot may contain contaminants (elevated aerobic plate count) and do not meet acceptable visual appearance standards for the product. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Nationwide to MN, IL, NJ and MI, further distributed nationwide. No foreign/VA/govt/military.. 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. 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.
