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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving Salmonella, a high-risk pathogen. The source text does not report any confirmed illnesses or injuries, making the hazard theoretical at this time, which limits the score to a maximum of 3 per the rubric.
