What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4 per the rubric. Additionally, the hazard involves Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen capable of causing serious and fatal infections.

Plain-English summary

Gilbert Foods Inc. is voluntarily recalling 27 cases of Evie's Cheddar Potato Macaroni Salad, 6 oz. containers. The recall was initiated after the co-packer, Mary's Harvest Fresh Foods, notified the company that the peas used in the salad are part of a voluntary recall by National Frozen Foods Corporation. Consequently, there is a risk that the product is contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. It can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms, the potential for severe health consequences exists. To date, there have been no reported illnesses or complaints attributed to the recalled items.

The affected product was distributed through Amazon Fresh in the Bellevue, Washington area. The use-by dates range from 04/15/16 to 06/20/16, and the UPC is 6637511772. Consumers should check their pantries for this product and contact Amazon Fresh at (866) 380-0525 for further information.
