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 severity score of 4. The presence of a high-risk pathogen (Cyclospora) in a ready-to-eat product justifies the highest severity rating of 5.
