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 Salmonella, a high-risk pathogen, in a Class I recall context elevates the severity to Critical (5) per the rubric's criteria for severe health risks.
