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: Listeria monocytogenes is a high-risk pathogen identified in the rubric. However, no illnesses or deaths have been reported, and the contamination is noted as 'possible' rather than confirmed, which limits the score to High per the rubric's criterion for high-risk pathogens without reported illness.
