To look it up yourself, search recall number F-1558-2014 in FDA's Enforcement Report. That search cannot be linked to directly, so the number has to be pasted in.

This page reproduces a record published by the US Food and Drug Administration. It is not real-time: recalls typically appear in FDA's Enforcement Report weeks after they begin — a median of 40 days, see publication lag. For current food safety information consult FDA and USDA FSIS directly.
