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 5/5 (Critical).
Highest-severity recall. The hazard can cause serious injury or death. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This recall is classified as FDA Class I, which explicitly qualifies as Critical severity per the rubric. Salmonella Thompson is a high-risk pathogen. Per the rules, FDA Class I recalls never score below 4, and the rubric directly lists FDA Class I as a criterion for score 5.
