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: This is a FDA Class II recall involving undeclared food colorants with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard involves synthetic dyes that are not major regulated allergens; the primary issue is a labeling defect rather than contamination or structural harm.
