UNFI General Corporate is recalling 226 cases of eggs from multiple brands due to temperature abuse. The products were distributed in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Wisconsin.
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 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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is a temperature abuse issue without confirmed pathogen contamination, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
