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: This recall meets FDA Class I classification with a high-risk pathogen (Listeria monocytogenes) detected in the product. Although no illnesses are reported in the source text, the presence of a serious pathogen in a ready-to-eat food product with potential for widespread harm warrants a Severe rating per the rubric criteria for Class I recalls.
