BJ's Wholesale Club Recalls Deli Roast Beef Due to Cross-Contact Risk
BJ's Wholesale Club is recalling 3FT American Substitute Roast Beef sold in eight states because it may have been sliced on equipment used for pistachio mortadella.
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 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen cross-contact (pistachios) on a ready-to-eat product, which fits the rubric criteria for 'Allergen mislabeling on common allergens' or 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.' No illnesses are reported in the source text.
