Heatherfield Foods is recalling pork sausage products labeled as gluten-free that contain wheat. The recall affects retail locations in Hawaii.
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 (gluten/wheat) on a common allergen, which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) per the rubric, despite the agency's Class II classification and lack of reported illnesses.
