D & D Foods Recalls Dijon Mustard Potato Salad for Allergen Mislabeling

D & D Foods is recalling 110 cases of Dijon Mustard Potato Salad sold in Hy-Vee stores because the product contains milk and wheat but fails to disclose these allergens.

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: "Cups of macaroni salad are in tubs which declare the product to be potato salad and fail to disclose the presence of milk and wheat allergens."
