Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

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 recall involves Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen, in an FDA Class II product. The source does not report any illnesses or hospitalizations. Per the severity rubric, this meets the criterion for 'High' severity: high-risk pathogens without reported illness.
