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: This is an FDA Class I recall for potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination, a high-risk pathogen. Although no illnesses have been reported, FDA Class I status itself indicates serious health risk warranting a Severe rating per agency guidelines.
