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'. According to the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I or USDA Class I, the score must never go below 4. Although no illnesses were reported, the Class I designation mandates a score of 4.
Plain-English summary
Shirks Meats, a Dundee, New York establishment, is recalling approximately 1,062 pounds of Smoked Pork Andouille Sausage.

The product consists of 30-lb. bags of smoked pork andouille sausage produced on November 26, 2014, and bears the establishment number EST. 18894 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
