The agency’s classification

USDA FSIS: Public Health Alert

Public Health Alert is a warning FSIS issues when there is a food-safety concern but a recall is not requested, typically because the affected product is no longer available for purchase.

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 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves misbranding (undeclared sesame ingredient) on FDA-regulated breadsticks and meat/cheese snack packs, with no confirmed illnesses reported. Per the rubric, this qualifies as a High severity recall because it represents a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
