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) with no reported illnesses, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria in the rubric.
Plain-English summary
Nuevo Garcia Foods, LLC, a San Antonio, Texas establishment, is recalling approximately 4,784 pounds of fully cooked pulled pork product due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The product may contain soy lecithin, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.
The affected product consists of 2-lb. packages of “H-E-B SMOKEHOUSE FULLY COOKED SMOKED SEASONED PULLED PORK WITH BBQ SAUCE” with lot code “3135” and Best By Dates of 8/18/2023, 8/25/2023, and 9/1/2023. These items bear establishment number “13205-A” inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to an H-E-B warehouse for distribution to retail locations in Texas. FSIS inspection personnel discovered the issue during a routine label verification review, determining that soy lecithin was used prior to the cooking process but not listed on the label.
