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: The source identifies Salmonella contamination, a high-risk pathogen. The source text explicitly states only "potential contamination" with no reported illnesses or injuries, so per the rubric, this meets the threshold for "High" severity (score 3) as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, and Salmonella is a high-risk pathogen.
