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 for milk, a common allergen, which corresponds to the 'High' severity criterion in the rubric.

Plain-English summary

The recall involves two product variations: Don's Salads Egg Salad (Net Wt. 5 lbs.) manufactured by Aldon Food Corp. in Schwenksville, PA, and Block & Barrel Classic Egg Salad (Net Wt. 5 lbs.) distributed by Sysco Corporation in Houston, TX. The affected products have sell-by dates of June 7, June 9, June 13, and June 15.

The total quantity involved is approximately 3,005 lbs for the Don's Salads brand and 1,885 lbs for the Block & Barrel brand.
