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: The agency classified this as an FDA Class II recall. Per the rubric, an FDA Class II recall involving a high-risk pathogen like Listeria Monocytogenes is categorized as Severe (Score 4), particularly given the potential for serious health consequences associated with Listeria contamination in ready-to-eat foods.
