The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class I

Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

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 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 per the rubric mandates a minimum score of 4, but the presence of undeclared major allergens (soy, milk, pecans) in a food product typically warrants the highest severity due to the risk of severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis, aligning with the 'Critical' criteria for high-risk hazards.

Plain-English summary

Pecan Shed is voluntarily recalling its Special Turtle Fudge due to the presence of undeclared allergens: soy, milk, and pecans. The product is described as fresh homemade fudge. The label indicates that all fudge is manufactured on equipment that processes peanuts, tree nuts, milk, cream, soy, egg, wheat, and artificial food coloring, but the specific undeclared allergens in this recall are soy, milk, and pecans.

The recalled fudge has no lot codes or expiration dates. According to the firm, the product expires in two weeks unless frozen, in which case it expires in two years. The product was sold at the onsite retail store and through the internet to customers in Idaho, Texas, Oregon, Minnesota, Washington DC, Montana, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Arizona, and Georgia.

Consumers who purchased this product should stop eating it and return it to the place of purchase for a refund or contact the firm for further instructions. Individuals with allergies to soy, milk, or pecans should be particularly cautious.
