The agency’s classification

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 high-risk bacterial pathogens (Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum) with potential for serious illness. The source does not report any illnesses to date. Per the severity rubric, product contamination with high-risk pathogens without reported illness meets the High threshold.
