Product Recall And Recovery Loss On Inferior Ingredients [Abstract] |
Food Allergen Compliance Costs and Recovery on Inferior Ingredients | Note 5. Food Allergen Compliance Costs and Recovery on Inferior Ingredients Food Allergen Compliance Costs In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, the company recognized $2.0 million of compliance costs associated with the Food, Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education, and Research Act (the FASTER Act) signed into law on April 23, 2021 and effective on January 1, 2023. The FASTER Act declared sesame as the ninth major food allergen recognized by the U.S. and requires, among other things, all food products containing sesame (or products produced on the same equipment as products containing sesame) to list it in the ingredients statement or in a separate allergen statement on the packaging. The costs were mostly attributable to write-offs of obsolete packaging not in compliance with the new requirements and are recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Recovery on Inferior Ingredients During Fiscal 2021, the company issued a voluntary recall on certain Tastykake multi-pack cupcakes sold in eight states and certain Tastykake Krimpets distributed to retail customers throughout the U.S. due to the potential presence of tiny fragments of metal mesh wire. The recall was initiated following notification by a vendor of the possible contamination in a supplied ingredient. We incurred costs of $1.8 million related to the recall in Fiscal 2021 and received a full reimbursement for the loss in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022. Unless otherwise noted, the costs and reimbursements related to these inferior ingredients are included in the ‘FASTER Act, net of recovery on inferior ingredients’ line item in our Consolidated Statements of Income. There were no costs or reimbursements related to food allergen compliance or inferior ingredients during Fiscal 2024 or Fiscal 2023. The table below presents the total costs associated with the FASTER Act and cost and recoveries on inferior ingredients during Fiscal 2022 (amounts in thousands):
