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 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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving Salmonella, a high-risk pathogen. No illnesses have been reported in the source text, so per the rubric, the score is at most 3, but Salmonella contamination without reported illness qualifies as High (score 3).
