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: This is an FDA Class II recall as stated in the source metadata. The hazard—lack of verified thermal processing control—creates potential for pathogenic contamination in a canned/jarred food product, which can lead to serious foodborne illness and possible hospitalization. Class II recalls are categorized as Severe per the rubric.
