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: This recall is classified as FDA Class I by the agency, which mandates a severity score of at least 4. Salmonella is a high-risk pathogen associated with serious foodborne illness. Although no illnesses are reported in the source text, the Class I classification and the pathogen involved meet the "Severe" threshold.
