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 agency classified this recall as Class I — 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.

The agency gives the reason as: "Gluten Free Cafe Cinnamon Sesame Bar is recalled due to the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. The recalled Roasted peanuts from Sunland Inc., were used as ingredients in this product."
