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: Listeria monocytogenes is a high-risk pathogen explicitly listed in the Score 3 criterion. Although classified as FDA Class I, the source describes the contamination as 'potential' rather than confirmed, and no illnesses or injuries are reported. The score reflects the inherent hazard severity while acknowledging the theoretical nature of the risk.
