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, which corresponds to a 'Severe' severity score (4) according to the rubric, as Class I recalls involve a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death.

Plain-English summary

J & B Sausage Co., a Waelder, Texas establishment, is recalling an additional 9,909 pounds of chicken product due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The products may contain peanuts, a known allergen, which are not declared on the product label. This recall expansion includes 12-oz. packages of fully cooked Cajun Hollar Brand Inc. Creole Style Boudin produced between August 19, 2014, and December 2, 2014.

This action follows an initial recall on December 27, 2014, of 45,904 pounds of chicken and beef products produced between August 25 and December 15, 2014. The initial recall included 5-lb. packages of Chefs-In-A-Bag Chicken Taco Filling, 1-lb. packages of HEB Fully Cooked Texas Style Beef Chili No Beans, 1-lb. packages of HEB Fully Cooked Taqueria Style Picadillo, and 1-lb. packages of HEB Fully Cooked Carne Guisada. All affected products bear the establishment number EST. 7066 or P-7066 inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to retail locations in Texas.

The issue was identified after the FDA issued an allergy alert for undeclared peanut protein in cumin products from a supplier. The establishment discovered the additional affected product while reviewing records. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
