What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I classification mandates a minimum severity score of 4. Listeria monocytogenes is a high-risk pathogen. No illnesses are reported in the source text, but the Class I status and the presence of a high-risk pathogen justify the Severe classification.
