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 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "Sezam Kale Salad kits, 6.43 lbs, are recalled due to undeclared egg. The wrong dressing packet was added to the Sezam Kale Salad kit and the dressing contains undeclared egg."

Plain-English summary

Market of Choice Inc is voluntarily recalling 16 kits of Sezam Kale Salad, net weight 6.43 pounds, due to the presence of undeclared egg. The recall was initiated because the wrong dressing packet, which contains egg, was added to the salad kits. The ingredients were packaged individually and placed in one large bag, and the mixed product was sold in deli cases at retail stores.

The affected product has a UPC of 2 11565 20216 1. The recall includes kits with production code 02-14-18 (sell by date 02-21-18) and production code 02-15-18 (sell by date 02-22-18). The product was distributed in Oregon.

Consumers with this product should stop using it and return it to the place of purchase or dispose of it. Individuals with an egg allergy should be particularly cautious, as the undeclared allergen poses a risk of allergic reaction.
