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 agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "Smoked Tomato Sauce was recalled due to undeclared milk. The jars actually contain Cucina Fresca Tomato Vodka Sauce, which contains milk as an ingredient, but was mis-labeled as Smoked Tomato Sauce and the label does not declare milk."
