Nitre powder Brand "Selected Product" recall
Recalled by Hocean Inc · City Of Commerce, CA, United States
Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.
Why it was recalled
FDA analysis of the product found that the product consisted of mainly sodium nitrite. The product's label failed to bear adequate directions for use as required in 21 CFR 172.175. Failure to provide these directions for use may result in overuse that can pose an life-threatening hazard to health.
A label that does not match the product can hide an ingredient someone must avoid, or show a wrong use-by date. All labeling errors recalls.
What was recalled
Nitre powder. Brand "Selected Product", 4oz plastic bags, UPC 0 45027 97918 2.
Quantity: 50 cases with 100, 4-oz packages per case

Do not eat it. Class I means FDA judged there is a reasonable probability of serious illness or death. If the brand, size and lot or date code on your package match, throw the product away or return it to the store for a refund, and clean any surface or container it touched. If anyone has eaten it and feels unwell, contact a doctor and mention the recall. FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
