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: FDA Class II recall for aflatoxin, a high-risk mycotoxin contaminant without reported illnesses or injuries. Per the rubric, Class II requires hospitalization reports to reach severity 4; absent reported illness, a high-risk contamination hazard scores 3.
