The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class III

Class III is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.

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: FDA Class III recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is temperature abuse of a refrigerated ready-to-eat product, which is a low-risk contamination scenario without confirmed pathogenic identification. FDA Class III recalls are typically scored 1 or 2.
