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: This FDA Class II recall involves two high-risk pathogens: Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum. However, no reported illnesses or injuries are mentioned, and the contamination is described as potential rather than confirmed. Per the rubric, high-risk pathogens without reported illness score at the High level.
