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 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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving Salmonella, a high-risk pathogen. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, so per the rubric, the score is at most 3. High severity applies because Salmonella is a pathogenic organism presenting a risk of serious harm without yet-reported illness.
