New Seasons Market Recalls Sesame Noodle Chicken Salad for Undeclared Peanuts
New Seasons Market is recalling ready-to-eat sesame noodle chicken salad products because they contain peanuts, a major allergen, that are not declared on the label.
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 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 text explicitly classifies the recall as 'High - Class I' and 'Class I'. Per the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I or USDA Class I, the score is never below 4, and the presence of a Class I designation for an undeclared allergen (peanuts) in a ready-to-eat product warrants the highest severity score of 5.
Plain-English summary
New Seasons Market, a Portland, Oregon establishment, is recalling an undetermined amount of ready-to-eat sesame noodle chicken salad products. The recall was issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The products contain peanuts, which are known allergens, but this ingredient is not listed on the product label.
The affected products are 24-oz clear clamshell plastic containers labeled "NEW SEASONS SESAME NOODLE CHICKEN SALAD" with a BEST BY date of 07/18/2018. These items were produced on July 13, 2018, and shipped to retail locations in Oregon and Washington. The company operates a kitchen exempt from FSIS inspection, and the products do not bear a USDA establishment number on the packaging.
A New Seasons Market employee discovered the labeling error on July 14, 2018, and the company notified FSIS. 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.
