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 text explicitly classifies the recall as 'Class I' and 'High - Class I'. According to the rubric, if the agency's own classification is USDA Class I, the score must be at least 4 (Severe).

Plain-English summary

Kraft Foods Group, Inc., a Columbia, Missouri establishment, is recalling approximately 96,000 pounds of Oscar Mayer Classic Wieners. The recall is due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, as the packages may contain Classic Cheese Dogs that include pasteurized cheese. The product labels do not reflect the ingredients associated with the cheese, which contains milk, a known allergen.

The affected products include 16 oz. packages of "Classic Wieners Made with Turkey & Chicken, Pork Added" with a "USE BY 16 Jun 2014" date and product code "044700000632," as well as cases of 16 oz. packages of "Classic Cheese Dogs Made with Turkey & Chicken, Pork Added, and Pasteurized Cheese Product" with a "USE BY 16 Jun 2014" date and case code "00447000005300." These products were produced on March 2-3, 2014, and bear the establishment number "Est. 537H" inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were distributed to Kraft distribution centers and in retail stores nationwide.

The issue was discovered by a consumer who notified the company on April 18, 2014. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
