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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving improper pasteurization of ice cream, which creates a risk from potential pathogens. The source text explicitly does not report any illnesses or injuries, making this a theoretical hazard; however, pasteurization failure poses risk of high-risk pathogen contamination, warranting a High severity score.
