The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class I

Class I is 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.

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 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: "The firm was notified by the Ohio Department of Agriculture that they failed to declare the following allergens on various labels: Milk (2 and 3 oz. bags), Soy (2 and 3 oz. bags) or Wheat (2 oz. bags)."

Plain-English summary

LJA Enterprises is recalling 15 two-ounce bags and 30 three-ounce bags of Sweet and Spicy Mix. The product contains cashews, craisins, honey roasted peanuts, pepper nuts, and honey sesame sticks. The recall was initiated after the Ohio Department of Agriculture notified the firm that the product labels failed to declare specific allergens.

The undeclared allergens include milk and soy in both the two-ounce and three-ounce bags, and wheat in the two-ounce bags. The product was distributed in Ohio and carries a sell-by date of July 1, 2017.
