What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of a milk product distributed without proper pasteurization, which creates risk of serious foodborne illness from potentially unpasteurized dairy. Although no illnesses are reported in the source text, unpasteurized milk poses a significant public health hazard and meets the Class II with risk-of-harm criterion for a Severe rating.
