Sysco Recalls Block and Barrel Imperial Salad Macaroni Due to Temperature Issues

Sysco Charlotte is recalling Block and Barrel Imperial Salad Macaroni because a cooler malfunction may have allowed the food to be held at unsafe temperatures.

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 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 classification is FDA Class II. Per the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I or USDA Class I, never go below 4; however, FDA Class II is generally mapped to Severe (4) in the absence of specific hospitalization reports, as it poses a significant risk of temporary or medically reversible health consequences.
