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 per the rubric mandates a score of at least 4, and the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in a ready-to-eat food product is a high-risk pathogen scenario typically associated with severe health consequences, warranting the highest severity level in the absence of mitigating factors.
