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 agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "Product Contamination"

Plain-English summary

Northern Tier Bakery, LLC, a St. Paul Park, Minn. establishment, is recalling approximately 905 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) salad products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall on June 9, 2022.

The affected items were produced from May 18, 2022, through June 8, 2022. Products include 4-oz. plastic packages of “SUPERMOM’S KITCHEN Chef Salad” with egg, white turkey meat, ham, and cheese, bearing “ENJOY THROUGH” dates of 6/9 and 6/11. Also recalled are 4.3-oz. plastic packages of “SUPERMOM’S KITCHEN Caesar Salad” with seasoned chicken breast strips, parmesan cheese, and crouton packet, bearing various “ENJOY THROUGH” dates from May 26 through June 16, 2022. All recalled products bear establishment number “EST. 19860” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The problem was discovered when the company notified FSIS that its product sampling resulted in a positive test for Listeria monocytogenes. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. The products were shipped to retail locations in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS is concerned that some product may still be in consumers’ refrigerators. Listeriosis can cause serious infection, particularly for older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns.
