The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
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: Listeria monocytogenes is a high-risk pathogen explicitly cited in the rubric. The FDA classification is Class II, but no illnesses or injuries have been reported. Per the rubric, potential contamination with high-risk pathogens where no injury has been reported scores as High (3).
