KIND LLC is recalling Dark Chocolate Nuts and Sea Salt Bars because the outer box fails to declare the allergen walnuts, although individual bars are properly labeled.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (walnuts), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) according to the rubric, as no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
