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 'Class I' and 'High - Class I'. Per the rubric, if the agency's own classification is USDA Class I, the score must be at least 4.

Plain-English summary

Boulder Natural Meats, a Denver, Colorado establishment, is recalling approximately 3,607 pounds of beef, pork, and poultry products. The recall was issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) because the products were missing ingredients statements and some contain milk, a known allergen that is not declared on the product labels.

The affected products include various vacuum-sealed packages of chicken and pork sausages, beef burgers, and frozen chicken livers. These items bear establishment number EST. 18852 and P-18852 inside the USDA marks of inspection. The products were shipped to one distributor and retail stores in Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.

The issue was discovered by an FSIS investigator who observed misbranded meat products at a retail store. 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.
