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 text explicitly classifies the recall as 'High - Class I' and 'Class I'. According to the rubric, if the agency's own classification is USDA Class I, the score must be at least 4.

Plain-English summary

NuVue Foods, a Hamtramck, Michigan establishment, is recalling approximately 268 pounds of ready-to-eat 18th Street Deli Chicken Burritos. The recall was initiated due to misbranding and the presence of an undeclared allergen. The products contain egg, which was not declared on the label.

The affected items are 6-ounce individually wrapped packages bearing expiration dates of November 12, 2018, and November 14, 2018. These products were produced on October 31, 2018, and shipped to retail locations, specifically vending machines, in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. The issue was discovered after a consumer complaint revealed that Farmers Burritos containing eggs were mistakenly labeled as Chicken Burritos.

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.
