Al-Safa US LLC is recalling approximately 2,010 pounds of frozen ready-to-eat chicken products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The agency’s classification
USDA FSIS: Class I
Class I is 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.
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 'High - Class I' recall. Per the rubric, an agency classification of Class I mandates a score of at least 4, and the presence of a high-risk pathogen (Listeria) in ready-to-eat products supports a 'Severe' rating.
Plain-English summary
Al-Safa US LLC, the importer of record, is recalling approximately 2,010 pounds of imported frozen ready-to-eat chicken products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. The affected products were produced in Canada on June 5, 2024, and imported to the United States on June 13 and June 21, 2024. The specific items subject to recall are 12.1-oz. packages of Al Safa Halal Charcoal Grilled Chicken Seekh Kebab and 14.11-oz. packages of Al Safa Halal Fully Cooked Chicken Chapli Kebab. These products bear establishment number 866 inside the Canadian mark of inspection and were shipped to retail locations nationwide.
The recall was initiated after the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) performed routine product testing, which indicated the products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. However, consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers and is conducting recall effectiveness checks to verify that the product is no longer available to consumers.
