Saw the hing order. Question is, if a batch is declared sub-standard, does the shop have to take back packets already sold, or only pull what is on the shelf? Anyone here dealt with FDA notices for food, what actually happens at the kirana level. Our house has two packets lying open.

Same brand or different? Batch number is what matters, not brand

Amutha Vedanayagam@avedanayagam10d

Was it bought from the same shop both times, or one from somewhere else?

Vaishnavi Ramamurthy@thevaishnavi10d

one was online actually, forgot about that. will look at both

Check the seam and keep the packet aside till you know.

Amutha Vedanayagam@avedanayagam10d

Seam looks fine though. Where did the recall number come from, some circular or forward?

Dr. Sharmila Chaudhuri@drc10d

Which circular? Every year some batch number goes around on WhatsApp

That's what I'm asking also. Nobody has the actual copy
