What this means for you
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: FDA Class II recall involving temperature control failure on a ready-to-eat dairy product, which could support pathogen growth. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, this represents a risk-of-harm scenario fitting Score 3 rather than a low-risk precautionary classification.
