Sierra Soups is recalling 2,868 packages of Pasta e Fagioli soup because the product contains wheat pasta but is labeled as gluten-free.
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 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard is a labeling error regarding gluten content. This fits the rubric for moderate severity involving minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination where no specific injuries are reported.
