The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
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 3/5 (High).
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: Salmonella is explicitly named as a high-risk pathogen in the reason for recall. The source indicates 'potential' Salmonella, suggesting a theoretical hazard without any reported illnesses. Per the rubric, high-risk pathogens without reported illness score 3 (High).
