Farmers' All Natural Creamery LLC is recalling Kalona Supernatural Organic Half & Half in 16 FL OZ and 32 FL OZ bottles because the product was shipped without being properly pasteurized, creating a food safety risk.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

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 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text identifies this as an FDA Class II recall involving a dairy product shipped without proper pasteurization, which is a significant food safety hazard that could result in pathogenic contamination and potentially serious illness. Class II recalls, particularly those involving basic processing failures in milk products, meet the threshold for Severe classification.
