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. Per the severity rubric, FDA Class I recalls are never scored below 4. Although no reported illnesses are stated in the source, the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen requiring hospitalization, in a ready-to-eat food product distributed across multiple states meets Class I criteria.
