Our severity reasoning: The source text identifies the hazard as possible Salmonella contamination, which is a high-risk pathogen. According to the rubric, high-risk pathogens without reported illness are typically scored as 3 (High), but the agency's own classification is FDA Class I. The rubric states that if the agency's classification is FDA Class I, the score must never go below 4. Therefore, the score is 4 (Severe).
