Weis Markets is recalling Dried Beef Party Rye Dip because the label failed to list egg and milk, which are present in the ingredients.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class I

Class I is 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.

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: "Label did not list sub-ingredients for mayo and sour cream. It contains undeclared egg and milk. The firm found a 2nd PLU which was not corrected. Recall of Weis Dried Beef Party Rye Dip was expanded to include 2nd PLU."

Plain-English summary

Weis Markets is recalling approximately 300 units of Dried Beef Party Rye Dip. The recall was initiated because the product label did not list the sub-ingredients for the mayonnaise and sour cream used in the recipe. As a result, the product contains undeclared egg and milk, which are major food allergens.

The affected products have sell-by dates ranging from February 15, 2018, to March 11, 2018. The recall was expanded to include a second PLU code that was initially missed but identified by the firm. The product was distributed in New York and Pennsylvania.

Consumers who have purchased this product should check their sell-by dates and PLU codes. If the product matches the description, consumers should discard it or return it to the store of purchase. Individuals with egg or milk allergies should be particularly cautious and avoid consuming this product.
