Fresh Creative Cuisine is recalling Orchard Bistro Italian Hoagies sold from January 24–30, 2023, due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

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 requires a minimum severity score of 4. Listeria monocytogenes is a high-risk pathogen; the potential contamination with this serious bacterium in a ready-to-eat food product distributed across multiple states warrants a Severe rating.
