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: The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the contamination risk is theoretical. However, rodent contamination in a food product represents a significant health risk, warranting a High severity rating per the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
