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 recall is classified FDA Class I by the agency. Under the rubric, FDA Class I recalls must score at least 4. Although no illness has been explicitly reported, the presence of Listeria monocytogenes—a high-risk pathogen—on food contact surfaces in a ready-to-eat food facility constitutes a severe public health hazard warranting a Severe rating.
