LA Link Corporation is recalling Shiitake-Ya Dried Shiitake mushroom slices because FDA testing found pesticide and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon residues with no established tolerances.
What this means for you
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 III, which the rubric defines as typically scoring 1 or 2 because it is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The presence of residues with no tolerances justifies a score of 2 rather than 1.
