Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving high-risk pathogens (Listeria and Salmonella). The source text does not report any confirmed illnesses or injuries; the hazard is based on positive environmental samples. Per the rubric, this score remains at 3 when high-risk pathogens are present without reported illness.
