Whole Foods Market is recalling its Grilled Chicken & Kale Brussels Meal because possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes was found. The nationwide recall covers products distributed from October 10, 2019 through November 4, 2019.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class I, which per the rubric mandates a minimum severity score of 4. While no deaths or serious injuries are reported in the source text, the presence of a high-risk pathogen (Listeria monocytogenes) combined with the Class I classification elevates the severity beyond moderate levels.
