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 metadata explicitly classifies this as a 'Class I' recall. 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

Night Hawk Frozen Foods, Inc., a Buda, Texas establishment, is recalling approximately 167 pounds of frozen beef patty and gravy products. The recall was initiated due to misbranding and the presence of undeclared allergens. Specifically, the products contain milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.

The affected items are 8.75 oz. board cartons labeled as NIGHT HAWK BEEF PATTY N GRAVY, CHARBROILED BEEF PATTY and GRAVY, POTATO ROUNDS and SWEET CORN. These heat-treated, but not fully cooked, frozen items were produced on Nov. 8, 2017, and bear establishment number EST. 2117 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were shipped to retail locations in Louisiana and Texas.

The issue was discovered on Feb. 19, 2018, when FSIS was notified of two consumer complaints regarding mislabeled products. The cartons actually contain beef patties, mashed potatoes, and cheese. 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.
