Frito-Lay is recalling 32-count Miss Vickies Multipacks due to potential Salmonella contamination. The recall covers units distributed nationwide and in Puerto Rico.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class I

Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

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 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 minimum score of 4, and the presence of Salmonella, a high-risk pathogen, in a Class I recall typically indicates a serious health risk, warranting the highest severity score in the absence of specific injury reports that would otherwise lower the classification.
