What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The source identifies high-risk pathogens (Listeria and Salmonella) detected in environmental samples. Although the source text does not explicitly state that illnesses or injuries have been reported, the detection of these pathogens combined with the FDA Class II classification places this at the High severity level per the rubric for high-risk pathogen contamination without reported illness.
