What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 5/5 (Critical).
Highest-severity recall. The hazard can cause serious injury or death. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which per the rubric mandates a score of at least 4, and the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen, in a ready-to-eat product typically warrants the highest severity level due to the potential for serious health consequences.
