Dakota Honey Company — Class II: Dakota Honey Company Spreadable Spun Honey, Jalapeno. Stir before use. Produced in Winn
Dakota Honey Company has initiated a Class II recall for its Spreadable Spun Honey (Jalapeno) due to potential contamination with foreign objects, specifically stainless steel dust/flakes or plastic shreds. The recall affects 4 oz and 12 oz plastic jars produced in Winner, South Dakota.
This recall affects the Dakota Honey Company, distributors of the specified honey products, and food safety/quality assurance departments responsible for physical hazard monitoring in honey production.
A Class II designation suggests that while the health risk is not immediate or severe, the presence of metal and plastic debris indicates a failure in current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) or equipment integrity. This situation likely necessitates an investigation into the root cause of material fragmentation, potentially involving equipment wear, maintenance failures, or inadequate filtration processes.
QA teams should verify that current physical hazard prevention programs—such as sieving, filtration, or metal detection—are effective for both metallic and non-metallic (plastic) contaminants. Firms should ensure that production equipment maintenance schedules address potential material degradation to prevent shedding of foreign objects into the product stream.
