FDA issued its first mandatory recall of contaminated 'food' product (although this product is a dietary supplement which are considered food) when the agency issued one for powdered kratom product contaminated with Salmonella. The ability to mandate a recall was granted to FDA under the FSMA regulation. Kratom has been involved in a wide spread Salmonella outbreak.
According to the news report, "The agency asked Triangle on Friday to voluntarily recall the kratom items. When the company did not comply with the request, the FDA the next day ordered the firm to cease distribution. The company could have requested a hearing, the agency said, but it did not respond within the required time frame. The agency then issued the mandatory recall order."
Once the weapon is pulled out of the holster for the first time, it become a lot easier the second time around.
