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 source text explicitly classifies the recall as 'High - Class I' and 'Class I'. Per the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I or USDA Class I, the score must never go below 4.

Plain-English summary

The Daniel Weaver Company, a Lebanon, Pennsylvania establishment, is recalling approximately 7,092 pounds of Halal Beef products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen.

These products bear the establishment number EST. 669 and were produced between November 13 and December 3, 2014.
