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 is an FDA Class II recall involving a high-risk pathogen hazard (pasteurization failure in dairy products can allow growth of Listeria and other pathogens). The source text does not report any illnesses, but the hazard of underpasteurized dairy is significant enough to warrant High severity under the rubric criterion for high-risk pathogens without reported illness.
