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: This recall involves high-risk pathogens—Listeria and Salmonella—detected in environmental samples at the manufacturing facility. Although no reported illnesses or injuries are stated in the source, these pathogens pose a significant risk of harm if present in the product. The hazard is real (positive environmental samples), not merely theoretical. Per the rubric, high-risk pathogen detection without reported illness warrants a score of 3.
