What this means for you

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 recall is scored as High (3) because while Listeria monocytogenes is classified as a high-risk pathogen in the severity rubric, the source states only 'potential' contamination with no reported illnesses or injuries.
