What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling for wheat, a common allergen, which fits the criteria for a High severity score (3) under the rubric.
Plain-English summary
The Great Gourmet Inc is recalling The Great Gourmet 11/3 oz. Eastern Shore crab and shrimp cake, The Great Gourmet 10/3 oz. Coconut seafood crab cake, and The Great Gourmet 32/1 oz. Cheesy Crab & Bacon Bites. The recall is due to missing labeling information regarding wheat, which is a major allergen.
The product labels for these items do not list wheat in the ingredients statement or the 'contains' statement. This omission poses a risk to individuals with wheat allergies, as the product may contain the allergen without clear warning.
The recalled products were distributed through QVC. Consumers with these products should stop using them and follow the instructions provided by the recalling firm.
