WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture announced Tuesday that it ordered a recall of a Mountain House freeze dried storage food declaring it a “high” health risk to consumers, and the effort a Class 1 recall.

By definition, a Class 1 recall is defined as a “health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.”

For the moment, it appears that only one product in question is the “Spicy Southwest Breakfast Hash,” and a company representative said the company has reached out to customers.

According to the government, there have been no confirmed adverse reactions to the consumption of these products.

Consumers and retailers who feel like they may have this product can return them to Mountain House or the retailer they purchased it from for a full refund or a replacement of non-contaminated products.

The Mountain House number to obtain information is 1-800-547-0244.
