The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class I

Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 5/5 (Critical).

Highest-severity recall. The hazard can cause serious injury or death. 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. Additionally, the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen, in a ready-to-eat food product typically warrants the highest severity rating due to the potential for serious health consequences, aligning with the Critical criteria for known high-risk pathogens or Class I recalls.
