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 failure to maintain proper milk pasteurization controls, which creates a risk for pathogenic contamination. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, but the hazard—inadequate pasteurization of dairy—poses a significant risk of harm from potential pathogens.
