Serrano Chili, 38 lbs.

Pacific Sun Distributing recalled Serrano Chili, 38 lbs. in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Oct 20, 2014.

The recall was triggered by possible Salmonella contamination: "Pacific Sun Distributing is recalling serrano peppers because they may be contaminated with Salmonella." Salmonella is one of the most common causes of U.S. foodborne illness, with symptoms that typically appear within six hours to six days of exposure.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "North Carolina." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Bell, CA. The recall covers 384 cases of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Nov 5, 2014), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
