LuMaZu, LLC dba Nettle Meadow is recalling 16 units of Truffle Fromage Frais because pasteurization temperatures were not recorded for two lots due to a recorder malfunction.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the hazard is a documentation failure (missing temperature records) rather than a confirmed contamination or injury, fitting the criteria for a voluntary precautionary recall or minor labeling/documentation error.
