The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class I
Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
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 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: This recall receives a Severe (4) rating because the FDA classified it as Class I, which establishes a floor of 4 per the rubric. Although Salmonella Thompson is a high-risk pathogen capable of causing serious infections, no illnesses or deaths have been reported in the source text, which prevents a Critical (5) rating.
