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 Class I recall, which corresponds to a 'Severe' severity score (4) under the rubric, as Class I indicates a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences.

Plain-English summary

Korean Farm Inc., a Santa Fe Springs, California establishment, is recalling approximately 14,610 pounds of chicken stew products produced in the Republic of Korea. The products were not presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection, meaning they did not receive the benefit of full inspection. Without this inspection, a possibility of adverse health consequences exists.

The recalled items are 1.87-lb. and 1.32-lb. pouches of Ginseng Chicken Stew. These products were produced on August 24, 2014, and February 24, 2014. They bear the establishment number DGA 14001 inside the Republic of Korea mark of inspection. The products were shipped to retail locations and restaurants in Alaska, California, Colorado, Idaho, Maryland, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington.

The issue was discovered by FSIS import personnel during routine monitoring of import shipments. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
