The agency’s classification

USDA FSIS: Class I

Class I is 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.

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 source text explicitly classifies the recall as 'High - Class I' and 'Class I'. According to the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I or USDA Class I, the score must never go below 4.

Plain-English summary

Market of Choice, Inc., an establishment in Eugene, Oregon, is recalling approximately 145 pounds of pork and poultry pâté products. The recall was initiated because the products contain milk and soy, which are known allergens, but these ingredients are not declared on the product labels.

The affected items include 5-oz. packages of Market of Choice Country Pâté and Chicken Pâté with Rosemary & Lemon, as well as bulk terrine packages of Northwest Game Pâté, Country Pork & Pistachio Pâté, and Lemon Chicken & Rosemary Pâté. These products were produced on various dates prior to March 26, 2019, and have sell-by dates prior to and including April 25, 2019. The items were shipped to Market of Choice retail locations in Oregon.

The company reported the undeclared allergens to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Oregon Department of Agriculture. The FDA then notified the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), which has jurisdiction over the pork and poultry products. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
