Recall Insight

This FDA Food action (record #F-1767-2012) was formally reported on July 25, 2012, with the manufacturer initiating the action on May 4, 2012. It is classified under Moderate severity (Class II), with a current status of Terminated. Old Fashioned Foods, Inc. is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Mayville, WI. Federal records indicate 62 cases (48 containers per case) units are affected.

The documented reason for this recall is: Old Fashioned Foods Inc is recalling Zesty Bean Dip and Jalapeno Bean Dip because of inadequate processing according to 21CFR114, acidified food regulations. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: CA, MI, OH, WI. 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.
