What this means for you
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: This is an FDA Class II recall for a thermal processing deviation in a shelf-stable food product. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard—potential bacterial contamination from inadequate processing—is theoretical, making this a risk-of-harm situation without confirmed injury.
