E S Foods is recalling animal crackers in meal kits distributed nationwide because they may contain bronze metal shavings that could cause choking or internal injury if ingested.
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 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: Metal shavings in food represent a concrete risk-of-harm product capable of causing choking or internal injury if ingested. Although the FDA classification is Class II and no illnesses have been reported to date, the hazard warrants a High severity rating per the rubric criteria for risk-of-harm products.
