What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4. Additionally, the source text explicitly states that Salmonella can cause 'serious and sometimes fatal infections,' and the rubric dictates a score of 5 for known fatalities or FDA Class I classifications involving serious injury/death potential.
