Ricotta cheese recalled for improper storage temperature affecting microbial safety
Greco Sidari is recalling SOPRA Ricotta Amalfi sold in Ohio, New York, and Pennsylvania because the product was not held at appropriate temperatures, which could allow pathogen growth and spoilage.
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: FDA Class II recall involving temperature control failure on a ready-to-eat dairy product, which could support pathogen growth. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, this represents a risk-of-harm scenario fitting Score 3 rather than a low-risk precautionary classification.
