Parkers Farm Inc is recalling Bucky Badger Garlic Cheese Spread due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
What this means for you
Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4, and the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen, in a ready-to-eat food product typically warrants the highest severity rating in the absence of specific injury data that would lower the risk profile.
