The agency’s classification

USDA FSIS: Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

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 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (soy) and is classified as FDA/USDA Class II, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for allergen mislabeling without reported illness.

Plain-English summary

Shop Packaging LLC, a New Bedford, Massachusetts establishment, is recalling approximately 115,505 pounds of chicken wing products. The recall is due to misbranding and the presence of an undeclared allergen, soy lecithin, which is not listed on the product label.

The affected product consists of 20-lb. bags containing "Chicken Mid-joint Wing." These products were produced between August 8 and October 10, 2014, and bear the establishment number P-46946 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were shipped to a distribution location in New York. The issue was discovered by an FSIS inspector after the company used a vegetable and canola oil spray containing soy lecithin on its conveyor belt.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions from consuming these products. Consumers with questions can contact Ron Sylvia, President, at (508) 961-7552, or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
