The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves reported foodborne illness outbreaks due to norovirus, which aligns with the rubric criteria for 'Severe' severity (FDA Class II with hospitalization reports or significant injury/illness reports).
Plain-English summary
Grand Supercenter Inc. is voluntarily recalling specific varieties of frozen oysters, including I.Q.F. and block formats, due to concerns about insanitary conditions during preparation and holding. The recall involves a total of 218,470 pieces of oysters across multiple item numbers (33200115, 33200116, 33200117, and 33200118) associated with Permit #NJ36RS.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that the products are adulterated under Section 40(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. This determination was based on inspectional evidence, sample analyses, and reports of foodborne illness outbreaks linked to norovirus. The agency believes the shellfish may have become contaminated with filth due to the insanitary conditions.
The affected products were distributed nationwide. Consumers who have purchased these specific frozen oysters should check their freezers for the listed item numbers and permit information. If the products are found, consumers should discard them or return them to the place of purchase. The recall is classified as FDA Class II, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
