What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 5/5 (Critical).
Highest-severity recall. The hazard can cause serious injury or death. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4, and the presence of a positive Salmonella sample in the supply chain represents a critical health hazard.
Plain-English summary
Jel Sert Co. is recalling 65 cases of Margaritaville 4.16 ounce packages of Banana Creme Pie Filling Mix. The product is packaged in a yellow, red, and blue box with white lettering. The specific lot code is WC5257, with a best before date of September 2017 and a Universal Product Code of 7239202925.
The recall was initiated because a positive Salmonella sample was detected from another customer of the supplier that tests the freeze-dried bananas used in the pie filling mix. Although the positive sample was from a different customer, the firm uses the same freeze-dried bananas in the recalled product.
The 65 cases (520 cartons) were used for sales samples and gifts. Approximately 20 cartons are not accounted for and were most likely given to employees or consumed. The remaining 17 cases were used by Marketing and R&D. Consumers who have this product should discard it or return it to the place of purchase.
