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: FDA Class I recalls are classified with a minimum score of 4 per the scoring rules. Salmonella is identified as a high-risk pathogen. Although no illnesses have been reported in the source material, the broad multi-state and multi-province distribution and the significant health threat posed by the pathogen justify the Severe classification.
