Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a physical foreign object (wire) in a ready-to-eat food product, which poses a risk of injury (choking, dental, or internal injury) even though no specific injuries are reported in the source text. This aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
