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 allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (milk), which meets the criteria for a High severity score (3) according to the rubric.
Plain-English summary
The C.F. Sauer Company is recalling several varieties of 21-ounce red pepper seasoning, including Sauer, Blue Mountain Valley, Pocahontas, Premium - Recipe, and Code brands. The recall covers specific lot codes for each brand, such as 18107R and 18072R for the Premium - Recipe variety.

The affected products have been distributed to Georgia, Illinois, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
