Inspired Organic Tahini Butter 16oz. plastic jar, 6 per case UPC #: 863669742564 refrigerate after opening

Lipari Foods Operating Company, LLC recalled Inspired Organic Tahini Butter 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 Dec 11, 2018.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "Product testing returned positive test results for Listeria monocytogenes." Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures and is especially dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "FL, IA, IL, IN, KY, MD, MI, MN, MO, NY, OH, PA, TN, WI, WV, CANADA." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Warren, MI. The recall covers 925 cases of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Dec 26, 2018), 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.
