Schafer Fisheries Recalls Fish Hot Dogs Due to HACCP Record Deficiencies

Schafer Fisheries is recalling specific lots of fish hot dogs because of inadequate HACCP records. The products were distributed in Illinois, New York, and California.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and is driven by documentation deficiencies (lack of HACCP records) rather than a confirmed contamination or injury event, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
