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: "Mislabeling"

Plain-English summary

Continental Glatt Kosher Meats Corp., doing business as First Choice Kosher Meat & Deli Inc. in Spring Valley, N.Y., is recalling approximately 61,504 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced this recall after the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets alerted FSIS to the issue.

The affected products were produced on various dates from June 26, 2020, through Nov. 20, 2020, with sell-by dates ranging from October 2, 2020, through April 18, 2021. The items include bulk boxes and chubs of beef salami, chicken aufschnit, chicken pastrami, chicken salami, cooked turkey breast, smoked turkey breast, turkey breast mexican, olive turkey breast, turkey delight, turkey pastrami, and turkey roll. These products bear establishment number “EST. 40009” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The products were shipped to retail locations in New York. The problem was discovered because the products were produced without federal inspection and bore the mark of inspection from another establishment without authorization. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. 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.
