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 3/5 (High).
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 is an FDA Class II recall involving a potential high-risk contamination (histamine in seafood) detected in FDA samples. Although no illnesses have been reported in the source text, the hazard is not merely theoretical—histamine is a recognized food safety concern in fish products that can cause adverse health effects. The presence of the hazard in FDA-tested samples elevates this to High severity.
