The agency’s classification
USDA FSIS: Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
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 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (soy) and is classified as FDA/USDA Class II, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for allergen mislabeling without reported illness.
Plain-English summary
Michigan Brand, Inc., a Bay City, Michigan establishment, is recalling approximately 4,287 pounds of pork sausage products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The affected products contain hydrolyzed soy protein, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product labels.
The recall includes 6 oz. and 14 oz. packages of MICHIGAN BRAND and The Jerky OUTLET Teriyaki Hunter Sausage, as well as 40-count boxes of The Jerky OUTLET Teriyaki Hunter Sausage. These products bear production dates from June 6, 2014, to February 17, 2015, and the establishment number Est. 10306 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were shipped to retail outlets and distributors in Michigan.
The issue was identified when an FSIS consumer safety inspector reviewed the labels and noticed the soy ingredient was missing from the ingredients list. 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.
