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 a ready-to-eat food product is a high-risk pathogen that typically warrants the highest severity rating in the absence of specific injury reports that would lower the risk profile.
