Okay, this stretches back in time a lot further than some of the others--


The recall only applies to below skus sold between 7/1/14 - 1/8/15.

An abundance of caution?  Maybe.

Or might reflect a supplier that couldn't tell them when the contaminated product appeared, but that June was the last time they KNOW that it wasn't contaminated.

Maybe.

I spy with my little eye the same message using the term may contain up top then closing with containing unknowingly.
