What this record is not
A recall record is reproduced as FDA published it, and the classification is FDA’s. SPEQ adds no interpretation, and a recall concerns the products and dates in the record — it is not a statement about a company’s other products or its current status.
Geobacillus stearothermophilus spore population in affected products may fall below minimum shelf life specification. When used to monitor steam sterilization cycles, the potential hazard is that the biological indicator will show no growth, indicating that the steam cycle was effective, even if the steam cycle did not achieve the intended spore reduction
