The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class I
Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
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 is an FDA Class I recall with potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination, a high-risk pathogen. FDA Class I classification mandates a minimum severity score of 4. No illnesses have been reported, which prevents a score of 5, but the agency's own classification and the high-risk nature of the contaminant result in a Severe rating.
