DA CHENG VEGETARIAN FOOD INC. is recalling Vegan Drumsticks because they contain egg that is not declared on the label. The product poses a risk to consumers with egg allergies.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class I

Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

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 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I classification mandates a minimum severity score of 4 per the established rule. Although egg is a common allergen with serious health consequences for allergic individuals, no illnesses or deaths have been reported in the source text, so the recall does not meet the Critical threshold.
