The agency’s classification

USDA FSIS: 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 (wheat), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) per the rubric, despite the agency's Class II classification and lack of reported illnesses.

Plain-English summary

Kettle River Products, an establishment in Askov, Minnesota, is recalling approximately 1,464 pounds of frozen chicken alfredo pizza. The recall was initiated because the product contains wheat, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. The items are 12-inch, 25-oz. plastic-wrapped pizzas with lot codes 21343, 21349, 21362, or 22011 stamped on the bottom of the packaging. These products bear establishment number P-04203 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recalled items were produced between December 9, 2021, and January 3, 2022. They were shipped to retail and restaurant locations, as well as fundraiser programs in Minnesota and Wisconsin. The company discovered the issue when it determined that it had used labels intended for a different product that does not contain wheat.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
