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 4/5 (Severe).
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 source text explicitly cites 'reports of food borne illness outbreaks due to norovirus,' which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or hospitalization-level severity associated with FDA Class II recalls involving confirmed illness.
Plain-English summary
Grand Supercenter Inc. is voluntarily recalling 218,470 pieces of Oyster 8 oz. x 40 Korea "Farm Raised" (Item # 33203712). The product was distributed nationwide.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that the Korean molluscan shellfish 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 due to norovirus. The FDA believes the products were prepared and held under insanitary conditions, which may have led to contamination with filth.
Consumers who have purchased this product should check their inventory and dispose of the oysters or return them to the place of purchase. The recall is classified as FDA Class II.
