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 source metadata explicitly classifies the recall as 'High - Class I'. According to the rubric, an agency classification of Class I mandates a severity score of at least 4 (Severe), as it indicates a serious health hazard.

Plain-English summary

Neto's Sausage Co., Inc., a Santa Clara, California establishment, is recalling approximately 7,687 pounds of beef, pork, and chicken products. The recall involves various sausage items, including Hot Italian Sausage, Herb-N-Cheese Coil, Linguiça, and Smoked Bratwurst, in packages ranging from 10 ounces to 1.25 pounds. These products were produced between December 28, 2014, and December 28, 2015, and bear establishment numbers EST. 9027 and EST 6086 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recall was initiated because the products were produced and labeled with the federal mark of inspection without the benefit of FSIS inspection. The issue was identified during routine FSIS in-commerce surveillance activities. The products were distributed in-house, to a local distributor, and online nationwide.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the 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 a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
