What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I classification establishes a minimum severity score of 4. Listeria monocytogenes is a high-risk pathogen, but no illnesses or injuries have been reported. The contamination was detected in harvest equipment rather than in distributed products, and no confirmed product contamination has been documented, preventing a Critical classification.
