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 is an FDA Class II recall. The source does not report any confirmed illnesses or injuries, but inadequate pasteurization controls create a potential for pathogenic contamination. Cheese made from unpasteurized or inadequately pasteurized milk poses a risk of high-risk pathogens such as Listeria, placing this at the High severity level.
