The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
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 3/5 (High).
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.'
