What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source metadata explicitly classifies this as a 'Class I' recall. Per the rubric, if the agency's own classification is USDA Class I, the score must be at least 4 (Severe), even though no illnesses have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Maple Leaf Foods, Inc. is recalling approximately 24,768 pounds of Ready-to-Eat (RTE) fully-cooked frozen quiche products. The affected items are 24-oz. individually-packaged plastic clam-shell containers of Schneider's Lorraine Ham & Cheese Quiche and H.E.B. Chef Prepared Foods Ham & Cheese Quiche. These products were produced and packaged on February 8, 2017.

The recall was initiated because the products were not presented for re-inspection upon entry to the United States, meaning they were distributed without the benefit of full inspection. The products do not bear the USDA federal mark of inspection but bear establishment number Canada 277. They were shipped to distribution centers in Indiana and Oklahoma for further distribution to retail stores nationwide.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions or illnesses due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
