A batch of Broccoli and Cauliflower Chorizo Roasted sold by Whole Foods Market is recalled because of possible 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: The recall is classified as an FDA Class I, which per the rubric mandates a minimum severity score of 4. Although no specific illnesses are confirmed in the source text, the presence of a potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination in a widely distributed food product triggers the highest non-critical severity level.
Plain-English summary
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a recall for Broccoli and Cauliflower Chorizo Roasted, manufactured by Whole Foods Market. This product was sold on the hot bar and in chef's cases across the United States from October 10, 2019 through November 4, 2019. The recall is based on possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious illness.
Because this is an FDA Class I recall, it is classified as a severe safety issue requiring removal from commerce. While the source describes the contamination as "possible," the agency's classification as Class I means the severity cannot be lower than 4 per the rubric. No specific illnesses are confirmed in the source text, but the combination of FDA Class I status and pathogen involvement places this at the highest non-critical severity level.
Consumers who purchased this product during the specified distribution period should follow the recall instructions provided by Whole Foods Market. The widespread nationwide distribution and the nature of the product as ready-to-eat deli-style food increase the public health significance of this recall.
