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 agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a severity score of at least 4. The presence of a high-risk pathogen (Hepatitis A) in a food product typically warrants a Class I classification, and the rubric specifies that FDA Class I recalls are Critical (Score 5).
