Companion Foods Corp. is recalling Vegetarian Tuna Fish cans because an FDA inspection found wheat was not properly declared in the ingredient list.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class III
Class III is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.
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 2/5 (Moderate).
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 typically corresponds to a score of 1 or 2. However, because it involves an allergen mislabeling issue (wheat), it is rated as Moderate (2) rather than Low (1) to reflect the potential risk to sensitive individuals, consistent with the rubric's treatment of labeling errors and precautionary measures.
