The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class I
Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
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 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 source text explicitly states the recall is due to a link with a current outbreak of Salmonellosis, which implies reported illnesses. Per the rubric, known illnesses or outbreaks involving high-risk pathogens like Salmonella warrant a Critical rating, especially given the FDA Class I classification.
