Estimate on sales: 1,099 jars sold through websites, 800 sold through local fundraisers, 400 sold at retailers, 200 through distributor, 1,000 for samples at events, 60 jars held for retain samples/testing, 2,500 sold at craft fairs/farmer's markets." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Zanesville, OH. The recall covers 6,659 jars of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported May 5, 2021), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved.
