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 agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4, and the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat foods is a high-risk pathogen that typically warrants the highest severity rating in the absence of specific injury data, aligning with the 'Critical' criteria for severe health risks.
