Green Core Recalls Okami Lobster Rolls Due to Raw Meat Misbranding

Green Core is recalling Okami Fully Cooked Wild-Caught Lobster Rolls because raw lobster meat was used instead of cooked meat.

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 agency classified this as an FDA Class III recall, which is defined as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard involves misbranding of raw meat as cooked, which is a labeling error rather than a confirmed contamination event with reported illness.
