C&S Wholesale Grocers Recalls Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes Due to Temperature Issues

C&S Wholesale Grocers is recalling Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes sold at two Target stores in New York because they were not held at appropriate temperatures during transport.

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 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 II, but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is a temperature control failure rather than a confirmed high-risk pathogen or structural defect, fitting the criteria for a moderate, precautionary recall.
