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 metadata explicitly classifies this as a 'High - Class I' recall. Per the rubric, an agency classification of Class I mandates a severity score of at least 4, corresponding to the 'Severe' label.

Plain-English summary

Robber's Roost Jerky, an establishment in Ellensburg, Washington, is recalling approximately 4 pounds of ready-to-eat smoked beef and pork pepper stick jerky. The product was produced on March 24, 2015, and is identified by the package code 032420150004 and establishment number EST. 19962M. The recall was initiated after a sample from a cutting board used in the preparation of the product tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes.

The recalled product was shipped to local retail outlets in Washington. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and the company have received no reports of illness due to consumption of this product. However, consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns.

Consumers should not eat the recalled product. FSIS advises all consumers to reheat ready-to-eat products until steaming hot to reduce the risk of listeriosis. Persons in higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and inform their health care provider about the consumption of the product.
