AKT Trading Inc. is recalling Choshiya branded Soft Tsubozuke Prepared Mix Vegetables due to missing "Keep Refrigerated" statement on labels. Non-shelf stable vegetables lacking this statement may spoil or develop harmful bacteria if stored improperly.
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: FDA Class I classification mandates a minimum severity score of 4. No deaths or reported illnesses are documented in the source text. The hazard—missing required refrigeration labeling on non-shelf stable vegetables—creates a theoretical risk of pathogenic contamination if stored improperly.
