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: The FDA classified this as a Class I recall, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4 per the rubric. Salmonella is a high-risk pathogen that can cause serious foodborne illness. Although no illnesses are reported in the source text, the high-risk nature of the pathogen and the FDA's Class I classification establish this as a Severe recall.
