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: No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but the product contains high-risk pathogens (Listeria and Salmonella) that pose a potential health risk. Per the severity rubric, when no illnesses are reported and the hazard involves high-risk pathogens without confirmed injury, the appropriate rating is High.
