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 improper pasteurization of ice cream, which creates a risk from potential pathogens. The source text explicitly does not report any illnesses or injuries, making this a theoretical hazard; however, pasteurization failure poses risk of high-risk pathogen contamination, warranting a High severity score.
