Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4 per the rubric. Although no reported illnesses or deaths are mentioned in the source text, the presence of a high-risk pathogen (Listeria monocytogenes) with potential for serious harm triggers the higher severity rating.
