McCain Foods Recalls Fire Roasted Diced Onion and Pepper Blend
McCain Foods USA is recalling Fire Roasted 1/2" Diced Onion/Pepper Blend because finished product was released after presumptive positive tests for Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella without confirmation.
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 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 identifies high-risk pathogens (Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella) and notes that product was released after presumptive positive tests. Per the rubric, high-risk pathogens without reported illness typically warrant a score of 3, but the failure to confirm positive tests for these specific pathogens in a food product elevates the risk profile to Severe (4) due to the significant potential for harm.
