The recall is designated as Class II, which means that “This is a health hazard situation where there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences from the use of the product” according to USDA. Inside the USDA mark of inspection on the recalled products, the establishment number reads “P-13456”. This number is also located on the back of the bag above the heating instructions.
