What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source text identifies the agency classification as Class I, which mandates a minimum score of 4, and the presence of Listeria monocytogenes contamination in ready-to-eat foods is a high-risk pathogen scenario that aligns with the Critical severity criteria for potential serious injury.
