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 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 FDA classified this as a Class I recall. Although no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, Class I recalls are high-risk situations involving a hazardous product that could cause serious health consequences. Listeria monocytogenes is a high-risk pathogen known to cause hospitalization, and Class I designation requires a minimum severity score of 4.
