What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: Listeria monocytogenes is a high-risk pathogen capable of causing serious infection and death, particularly in vulnerable populations. The source text does not report any confirmed illnesses or deaths, so the score reflects the high hazard potential of this pathogen without documented harm.
