FDA (Food) recall action 78290

San Gennaro Foods, Inc recalled 14 products on 2017-11-15

The FDA (Food) publishes a recall like this one as 14 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 14 pages.

Products: 14
Announced: 2017-11-15
Critical: 0
Units: 14,099

Why these products were recalled

Date coding ink was being printed directly on the food contact surface of packaging, allowing the ink to be in direct contact with the product. The ink is not approved for food use.

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.
