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). The source text does not report any actual illnesses or injuries, only potential contamination. Per the rubric, FDA Class I recalls cannot score below 4; however, because the source explicitly states no reported illness and the hazard is theoretical, the score is capped at 3 per the exception rule.
