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 a high-risk pathogen like Salmonella in a raw food product typically elevates the risk to Critical (5) in the absence of mitigating factors like pasteurization.
