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 for Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen. Although no illnesses are explicitly reported in the source text, Class I classification and the presence of Listeria on food-contact surfaces in a ready-to-eat sandwich facility satisfies the Severe criterion per the rubric.
