The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class I

Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

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 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This FDA Class I recall requires a minimum score of 4 per the rubric rules. While no illnesses have been reported, the potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen, in a ready-to-eat food product justifies the Severe classification.
