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 severity score of 4, and the presence of a high-risk pathogen (Salmonella) in a food product typically warrants the highest severity rating due to the potential for serious adverse health consequences.
