What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 5/5 (Critical).

Highest-severity recall. The hazard can cause serious injury or death. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source metadata explicitly classifies the recall as 'High - Class I' and 'Class I'. Per the rubric, if the agency's classification is FDA Class I or USDA Class I, the score must be 5 (Critical).

Plain-English summary

Van Lang Foods, a Countryside, Illinois establishment, is recalling approximately 232 pounds of pork potstickers and chicken dim sum. The recall is due to misbranding and the presence of an undeclared allergen. The products contain egg, which was not declared on the product label.

The affected products are 12-oz. trays of Sid Wainer and Son Domaine de Provence Pork Potstickers and 12-oz. trays of Sid Wainer and Son Domaine de Provence Chicken Dim Sum. The chicken dim sum was produced on November 11, 2014, and the pork potstickers on November 12, 2014. Both products were shipped to a distributor for retail sales in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The products were packaged in boxes bearing establishment number P-18403 or EST 18403 inside the USDA Mark of Inspection, but the consumer labels did not have the mark of inspection.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. Consumers can contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) for more information.
