(NEXSTAR) – A recall affecting nearly 1.6 million cartons of eggs has been ******* igned to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's most serious risk category.
The recall, which was initiated over concerns of potential salmonella enteritidis contamination, was categorized on Wednesday by the FDA as "Class I," indicating "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."
The new Class I designation was included in the agency's enforcement report for the existing recall.
Nearly 30,000 pounds of beef recalled under highest 'Class 1' risk level
The FDA has explained, however, that it often categorizes a recall well after the initiating firm makes the recall announcement, so it should not necessarily be viewed "as an expansion or change" to the firm's initial recall.
