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 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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving high-risk pathogens (Listeria and Salmonella) detected in environmental samples. Although no reported illnesses or injuries are stated in the source text, the presence of these pathogens in a ready-to-eat food product poses a risk of harm and warrants a High severity rating per the rubric.
