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 involves a labeling error regarding a major allergen (soy). Per the rubric, minor labeling errors and voluntary precautionary recalls are typically scored as Moderate (2), as there is no report of illness or injury.

Plain-English summary

Pacific Northwest Tofu, LLC is voluntarily recalling 32 packages of Dae Han Tofu Soya Select Teriyaki Tofu. The product is packaged in a retail vacuum plastic package with a net weight of 7.5 oz. The affected packages have a UPC of 0 34199 718965 and use-by dates of 08/22/12, 10/01/12, or 11/22/12.
