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 5/5 (Critical).
Highest-severity recall. The hazard can cause serious injury or death. 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. Additionally, the presence of Salmonella, a high-risk pathogen, in a ready-to-eat product typically warrants the highest severity rating in the absence of mitigating factors, aligning with the Critical category for severe health risks.
