Why these products were recalled

The products may exhibit indications of excessive oxidation. Excessive oxidation may affect the viability of anaerobic microorganisms.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
