Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4 per the rubric. Additionally, the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen, in a ready-to-eat food product supports a Severe rating.
