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 (wheat), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) according to the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Campos Foods, LLC, a Caryville, Tennessee establishment, is recalling approximately 126,705 pounds of beef products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens.

These items bear the establishment number EST. 2260 T inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recall was initiated because the products contain wheat, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.
