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 agency classified this recall as Class I — 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. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "Misbranding; Unreported Allergens"

Plain-English summary

America New York RI Wang Food Group, a Maspeth, N.Y. establishment, is recalling approximately 63,823 pounds of Heat Treated but Not Fully Cooked-Not Shelf Stable pork sausage products and beef products. The recall was initiated due to misbranding and the presence of an undeclared allergen. The products contain milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.

The scope of this recall was expanded to include an additional 9,850 pounds of beef and pork products produced between Jan. 5, 2016, and June 29, 2017. The affected items include 25-lb. institutional packs of Beef Balls, Beef Tendon Balls, and Pork Patty Balls. These products bear establishment number EST. 40200 inside the USDA mark of inspection and were distributed for institutional use in New York.

FSIS was notified of the issue on Sept. 15, 2017, after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency tested exported product and discovered milk proteins. Further investigation by FSIS inspection personnel on Sept. 25, 2017, identified additional products that did not include milk on the label. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them.
