Mitsui Foods Recalls Fresh Catch Smoked Baby Clams Due to Seal Quality Issue
Mitsui Foods Inc is recalling Fresh Catch Smoked Baby Clams because a packaging seal defect may allow the food to spoil and cause package swelling.
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, but the source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is a packaging defect leading to spoilage rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect.
