Impact verdict
Low impact. This remains a limited consumer food recall with reported illness cases but no evidence of a London Market specialty loss pathway. Available reporting supports potential US-domestic product liability and recall cost exposure, but there is no reported insured-asset disruption, marine transit loss, or broader multi-retailer contamination event. With recall scope, severity, and product volume still undisclosed, there is no credible route on current evidence to material London Market loss.
