What this means for you
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 a documented failure of critical sanitation controls in produce processing—inadequate sanitizer in wash water creates potential for bacterial contamination. While no illnesses have been reported, the product poses a documented risk of harm from contamination of fresh vegetables typically consumed raw, meeting the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products.
