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 I recall for a high-risk pathogen (Salmonella) without reported illnesses. Per the rubric, such recalls receive a score of 3, and the Class I designation ensures a minimum of 4 under normal circumstances; however, the explicit absence of reported illness in a theoretical contamination scenario places it at the upper bound of High (3).
