What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum score of 4, and the presence of a confirmed positive lab result for Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen, in a ready-to-eat product typically warrants the highest severity rating in the absence of mitigating factors, aligning with the 'Critical' criteria for severe health risks.
