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 recall involves Salmonella, a high-risk pathogen listed in the severity rubric for Score 3. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, making the hazard theoretical. The FDA classified this as Class II with no hospitalization reports mentioned.
