What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (plastic contamination in food) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical hazards without confirmed illness.
