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: Listeria monocytogenes is a high-risk pathogen. The source text indicates potential contamination without reporting any confirmed illnesses or injuries, which per the rubric places this at a maximum score of 3 for a high-risk pathogen without reported illness. The FDA classification of Class II does not elevate this beyond that threshold in the absence of hospitalization or illness reports.
