HELLOFRESH US is recalling specific EveryPlate meal kit product codes from production week 08/11/2021 nationwide due to onions contaminated with Salmonella Oranienburg purchased from ProSource.

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: The source text does not report illnesses or hospitalizations, but this is classified as FDA Class I by the agency. Per the rubric, FDA Class I recalls must score at least 4, and when Class I is paired with a high-risk pathogen (Salmonella) associated with an outbreak, Severe (4) is appropriate.
