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 explicitly classifies this as a Class I recall, which mandates a severity score of at least 4 per the rubric, despite the absence of reported illnesses.

Plain-English summary

Dearborn Sausage Company, Inc. is recalling approximately 1,944 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) wiener products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The recall involves two specific products: 2-lb. vacuum-sealed packages of “BROOKSIDE BRAND FULLY COOKED NATURAL CASING BEEF WIENERS” (lot code A0122024, sell by 11/05/2024) that may contain undeclared pork, and 2-lb. vacuum-sealed packages of “BROOKSIDE BRAND NATURAL CASING FULLY COOKED WIENERS” (lot code A0322024, sell by 11/05/2024) that may contain undeclared soy. These products bear establishment number EST. 10002 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The issue arose because the labels for the two products were inadvertently swapped. Consequently, the product labeled as beef wiener actually contains beef and pork wiener products, meaning pork is not declared on the label. Conversely, the product labeled as beef and pork wiener actually contains beef wiener products that contain soy, meaning soy is not declared on the label. The products were produced on August 7, 2024, and shipped to retail locations in Ohio.

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. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
