The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class III
Class III is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.
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: FDA Class III recall with no reported illnesses. Although allergen mislabeling on common allergens warrants higher scores, this is a labeling discrepancy caught precautionarily. Class III recalls are typically scored 1–2, and the absence of reported harm supports a Moderate classification.
Plain-English summary
Origami Catering, LLC is recalling 159 packages of Wakame Seaweed Salad due to incomplete allergen labeling. The product (UPC 8 51016 00235 5, net weight 4.5oz/127g) was manufactured April 19–23, 2023, with best-before dates April 24–28, 2023.
The recall involves a discrepancy between the ingredient statement and the allergen 'Contains' declaration. While the ingredient list correctly specifies 'Soy Sauce (Soy, Wheat),' the 'Contains' allergen statement lists only 'Soy and Sesame' and does not include wheat. For consumers with wheat allergies who rely on the allergen statement for safety, this omission poses a risk.
The recalled products were distributed in Oregon and Washington. Consumers who have purchased this item should not consume it if they have a wheat allergy and should dispose of it or return it to the point of purchase.
