USDA FSIS: Class I

Class I is 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.

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 the recall as 'Class I' and 'High - Class I'. According to the rubric, USDA Class I recalls are classified as Severe (Score 4), and the rule states that if the agency's classification is USDA Class I, the score must never go below 4.

Plain-English summary

Les Aliments O Sole Mio, Inc., a Boisbriand, Quebec, Canada establishment, is recalling approximately 3,880 pounds of chicken tortellini products. The heat treated, not fully cooked, not shelf stable items were produced on October 20, 2018, and imported into the United States. The specific product subject to recall is 20-oz. packages of OSOLE MIO LA PASSIONE DELLA CUCINA ITALIANA Tortellini CHICKEN with lot code 293018 and a use-by date of January 18, 2019.

The recall was initiated after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) that the product was produced outside the approved period of work shift agreement, meaning it was produced without the benefit of inspection. The products bear Canadian establishment number 764 and were shipped to warehouse locations in Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
