Sysco Classic Liquid Margarine Recalled for Mislabeled Soy Lecithin
Ventura Foods LLC is recalling Sysco Classic Liquid Margarine because the interior packaging misidentifies the product as canola oil, failing to declare soy lecithin.
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: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (soy), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) according to the rubric.
Plain-English summary
Ventura Foods LLC is voluntarily recalling two lots of Sysco Classic Liquid Margarine. The product is packaged in 2 x 17.5 lb. plastic containers and is identified by lot numbers C11228 and C11828. The recall involves 546 cases of the product.
The recall is due to mislabeled interior packaging that identifies the product as "Clear Canola Salad Oil STF." This labeling does not declare the presence of soy lecithin, which is an ingredient in the actual liquid margarine product. This mislabeling poses a risk to consumers with soy allergies.
The affected product was distributed to two locations in Arizona and Utah. Consumers who have purchased this product should check their inventory for the specific lot numbers and product description. If the product is found, it should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase.
