The agency’s classification
USDA FSIS: Class I
Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
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 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 source metadata explicitly classifies the recall as 'High - Class I' and 'Class I'. Per the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I or USDA Class I, the score is never below 4, and the rubric defines Class I as Critical (Score 5).
