Sysco Recalls Arezzio Imperial Fresh Mozzarella Ovolini Due to Temperature Failure

Sysco Charlotte is recalling Arezzio Imperial Fresh Mozzarella Ovolini because a cooler malfunction may have allowed the product to be held at unsafe temperatures.

What this means for you

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 does not report any illnesses or hospitalizations. The hazard is a theoretical risk of unsafe consumption due to temperature control failure, which aligns with the criteria for a moderate severity score involving low-risk contamination or precautionary measures without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Sysco Charlotte is recalling 36 units of Arezzio Imperial CHEESE MOZZ FRSH OVOLINI 4 OZ. The product was shipped to Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The recall was initiated after the firm discovered that one of their coolers malfunctioned, resulting in the food not being held at an appropriate temperature.

Because the holding temperature could affect food safety, the recalled mozzarella may be unsafe for consumption. The source text does not specify any reported illnesses or injuries associated with this recall.
