Target Recalls Birds Eye Steamfresh Green Beans Due to Temperature Issues
Target is recalling 10.8 oz. Birds Eye Steamfresh Whole Green Beans sold in Hawaii because a shipping container was not held at the proper temperature, potentially allowing 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 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 does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is described as a potential for contamination due to temperature abuse rather than a confirmed high-risk pathogen outbreak.

Consumers who purchased these specific green beans at the identified Target store in Hawaii during the specified dates should stop consuming the product. The source text does not specify a particular action for disposal or return, but standard recall procedures generally advise discarding the item or returning it to the point of purchase.
