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 'Class I' recall. Per the rubric, if the agency's own classification is USDA Class I, the score must be at least 4 (Severe).

Plain-English summary

Sikorski Sausages Co., Ltd., a London, Ontario, Canada establishment, is recalling approximately 74 pounds of various imported meat and poultry sausage products. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on May 24, 2019. The affected products include Garlic Sausage, Chorizo Sausage, Debrecyna Sausage, Double Smoked Sausage, and Podhalanska BBQ Sausage.

The recall was initiated because the ready-to-eat sausage items, imported on May 14, 2019, were not presented for import re-inspection into the United States. The problem was discovered during routine FSIS surveillance activities. The products bear Canadian establishment number 810 and were shipped to a retail location in California, where they were sold in varying weights behind the deli or meat counter.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions 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. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
