What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4. Additionally, the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen, in a ready-to-eat salad product typically warrants a Critical rating due to the severe health risks associated with listeriosis, particularly for vulnerable populations.
