Why It Matters
A Class II recall is issued when a product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects or when the probability of serious health consequences is remote.
While such recalls are less urgent than Class I recalls, they are still taken seriously to prevent potential harm.

What To Know
Impossible Food issued the voluntary recall of several of its products following concerns that they may contain small pieces of metal.
The California-based company is working closely with the FDA to address the issue swiftly and transparently. The recall was initiated on November 15 and classified by the FDA on December 13.
The recall affects multiple batches of the company's Impossible Savory Ground Sausage Meat from Plants and Impossible Spicy Ground Sausage Meat from Plants, both distributed nationwide.
The affected items have specific lot numbers and expiration dates, which the FDA has provided in the recall notices on its website.
Customers are encouraged to check the lot numbers of their purchased products and dispose of any affected items.
As previously reported by Newsweek, packages of Impossible Foods meatless sausage sold at all Wegmans locations were under a recall in November due to the presence of foreign material.
The grocery chain announced on its website that the meatless items were recalled due to the presence of "aluminum fastener" found in the product.
The recalled items were sold at all Wegmans locations in 14-ounce packages. Any consumer who has purchased a recalled item can return the product for a full refund.
What People Are Saying
The FDA's Class II classification indicates that while the contamination poses a potential risk, it is not considered life-threatening. Consumers who believe they have consumed a contaminated product and are experiencing symptoms are advised to contact their healthcare provider as a precaution.
While no injuries or serious incidents have been reported so far, Impossible Food initiated the recall as a precautionary measure to ensure consumer safety
