Target Recalls Sweet Peas Due to Temperature Control Issues
Target is recalling 12-ounce cans of sweet peas sold in Honolulu, Hawaii, because a shipping container was not held at the proper temperature, which could allow contamination.
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 a risk of contamination with pathogens due to temperature abuse, which fits the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.' No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
