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: The recall involves Salmonella, a high-risk pathogen, but no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text. Per the rubric, high-risk pathogen contamination without reported illness qualifies as severity score 3 (High). The FDA classification of Class II supports a score of at least 2, but the pathogen type elevates it to 3.
