Sailors Choice Breaded Clam Strips Recalled for Undeclared Milk
Sea Watch International is recalling Sailors Choice Breaded Clam Strips because the bread coating may contain undeclared milk, a major allergen not listed on the label.
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 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (milk), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) per the rubric, as no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Sea Watch International is voluntarily recalling Sailors Choice Brand Breaded Clam Strips, packaged in 24/4 oz. bags per case. The recall involves 1,705 cases of the product, which was distributed domestically. The specific lots affected have production dates of April 15, 2017 (Lot E04157, Best By April 15, 2018) and April 26, 2017 (Lot E04267, Best By April 26, 2018). The product has a shelf life of 12 months when stored under specified frozen conditions.
The reason for the recall is the potential presence of undeclared milk in the blended bread coating used for the product. Milk is a major food allergen, but it is not declared as an allergen or included in an advisory statement on the labels of these breaded clam strips. This mislabeling poses a risk to consumers with milk allergies or sensitivities.
Consumers who have purchased these specific lots of Sailors Choice Breaded Clam Strips should check their labels for the production dates and lot numbers listed above. If the product matches the recalled lots, consumers should not consume it and should dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase.
