Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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 and involves undeclared ingredients (colorants and preservatives) rather than major allergens or high-risk pathogens, fitting the criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination.
