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 severity score of at least 4. The presence of Salmonella, a high-risk pathogen, combined with the Class I designation, aligns with the criteria for a Critical severity score.
