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 recall is classified as FDA Class I by the agency. The source text states only potential contamination with Salmonella (a high-risk pathogen) with no reported illnesses or injuries. Per the rubric, FDA Class I recalls are never scored below 4, but since no actual illness has been reported and the hazard is potential rather than confirmed, a score of 3 is applied under the criterion for high-risk pathogens without reported illness.
