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 a high-risk pathogen (Cyclospora) in a ready-to-eat product typically warrants the highest severity rating in the absence of mitigating factors.
