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, which per the severity rubric requires a score of at least 4. Although no illnesses or hospitalizations are explicitly reported in the source text, Listeria monocytogenes is a high-risk pathogen capable of causing serious foodborne illness, and the Class I designation indicates a reasonable probability of serious health consequences.
