What this means for you

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: FDA Class II recall of perishable foods not maintained at proper temperatures. The source text does not report any confirmed contamination, illnesses, or injuries. However, improper temperature storage of perishable foods presents a risk of bacterial growth and potential foodborne illness, meeting the High severity criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'
