A recall where eating the product may cause health problems or death due to hazards such as botulinum toxin or undeclared allergens is a

• A. Class II recall
• B. Class III recall
• C. Class I recall
• D. Class IV recall

Answer: (C)

Recalls are categorized by how likely consumption is to cause harm and how severe that harm would be. When eating the product could cause health problems or death because of hazards like botulinum toxin or undeclared allergens, this is the most serious category because the consequences can be fatal or life‑threatening. Hazards of this level require urgent action to prevent exposure, unlike the less severe categories where harm is possible but not life‑threatening or is unlikely. A fourth category isn’t part of the standard FDA recall system, so it doesn’t apply here. Therefore, the scenario fits the most serious recall level.
