What this means for you

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: This recall involves high-risk pathogens (Listeria and Salmonella) detected in environmental samples. The source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported, making the hazard theoretical rather than realized, which limits the score to at most 3 per the rubric. The Class II agency classification and presence of significant pathogenic contamination risk justifies a "High" severity level.
