FDA (Food) recall action 71890
The FDA (Food) publishes a recall like this one as 7 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 7 pages.
The powdered golden seal had a coliform count of 2000 cfu/g when the specifications stated less than 1000/cfy/g. There is 12mg of golden seal per dose.
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
