Driscoll's Inc. recall: Driscoll's Raspberries- 6 oz

Driscoll's Inc., of Watsonville, CA, recalled Driscoll's Raspberries- 6 oz. The FDA's reason: “In House testing found a residue of 0.927 ppm of Zeta-cypermethrin on raspberries, which is above the U.S. MRL of 0.800 ppm.” The FDA classified it Class III: it is unlikely to cause harm. The company began the recall voluntarily on February 8, 2020, and the FDA first listed it in its Enforcement Report of March 11, 2020.

Source and notes

U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Enforcement Reports (openFDA food recall data) (Public domain (U.S. government work); source U.S. Food and Drug Administration, openFDA), data as of March 11, 2020.

Each week the FDA lists the recalls it has classified in its Enforcement Report, often weeks after the company announced the recall, so a month with five weekly reports tends to count more. Each recall counts once, however many products it covers, in the month FDA first listed it. Class I means the food could cause serious harm or death, Class II temporary or minor harm, and Class III is unlikely to harm anyone. Meat, poultry and most egg products are recalled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, not the FDA, and aren't included. For what to do with a recalled product, see the FDA's recalls page.
