Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — 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. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "A consumer purchased who purchased a labeled Coat & Bake Chicken but actually contained Pork Seasoning. The Pork Seasoning product contains the major food allergen "Milk" not declared on the Coat & Bake Chicken product"
