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: The recall involves Listeria, a high-risk pathogen, but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, which aligns with the rubric for a score of 3.
