What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as Class III (Marginal) by FSIS, and the source explicitly states that no adverse reactions have been reported, fitting the criteria for minor labeling errors.

Plain-English summary

Katadyn North America Foods, LLC, a Rocklin, California establishment, is recalling approximately 2,719 pounds of Spicy Sausage Pasta products. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on December 19, 2014. The affected products are 5-oz. foil laminated pouches of Alpineaire Spicy Sausage Pasta, produced between June 14 and November 13, 2014.

The recall was initiated due to misbranding. FSIS inspection personnel discovered during a label review that the packaging indicates the product contains beef, but it is actually formulated with pork sausage. Pork is not indicated on the label. The products bear the establishment number EST. 8132 inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to retail locations nationwide.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who are concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider. FSIS is conducting recall effectiveness checks to ensure the product is no longer available to consumers.
