USDA FSIS: Class I

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 recall involves a high-risk pathogen (Listeria monocytogenes) and the source text explicitly states that FSIS determined a link between the products and an illness cluster, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating due to reported illness.

Plain-English summary

Yu Shang Food, Inc., a Spartanburg, SC establishment, is recalling approximately 72,240 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall includes all ready-to-eat products produced prior to October 28, 2024. These items bear establishment number “P-46684” or “EST. M46684” inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to retail locations nationwide and available for purchase online.

The recall was initiated after routine testing by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) confirmed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in product and environmental samples. FSIS has determined a link between the products and an illness cluster. 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. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
