Why it was recalled
Potentially under pasteurized. The firm was notified by the California Department of Agriculture that due to the broken seal on the pasteurizer, the products may be under pasteurized, and they should recall the products.
The FDA has since closed this recall out, which means the company finished removing the product from sale. It is kept here because a closed recall still matters to anyone holding a package bought before it ended.
What to do if you have it
The agency has published the reason above without naming a health hazard class of its own. Match your package against the codes below, and when it matches, return it rather than deciding for yourself whether it looks fine.
How to tell whether your package is one of them
A recall covers particular production runs, not everything the company makes, so the codes decide it. These are the ones the FDA published. Match them against what is printed on your package, usually near the best-before date.
