Mann Packing Recalls Shaved Brussels Sprouts for Listeria Risk
Mann Packing Company is recalling shaved Brussels sprouts sold under HEB, Mann's, and Hungryroot brands due to a positive Listeria monocytogenes test.
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 5/5 (Critical).
Highest-severity recall. The hazard can cause serious injury or death. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4, and the presence of a confirmed Listeria monocytogenes positive result in a ready-to-eat food product elevates the risk to Critical (5) per the rubric for high-risk pathogens.
