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 I recall involving Listeria Monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen. Per the rubric, FDA Class I recalls are scored at 4 or above; Listeria detection on food contact surfaces in a ready-to-eat sandwich facility constitutes a serious health hazard meeting Class I criteria.
