Oregon Orchards Banana Smoothie Mix recalled for inadequate acidification documentation

My Chai Inc is recalling Oregon Orchards Banana Smoothie Mix nationwide due to insufficient production records proving proper acidification. Consumers should not consume the product.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class III recalls are typically scored 1 or 2. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The issue is lack of production documentation proving proper acidification, a procedural/regulatory concern rather than active pathogenic contamination. This warrants Moderate rather than Low due to the food safety implications of potentially improper acidification.
