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 a heavy metal contaminant (lead) in a food seasoning product. Although classified as FDA Class II and no reported illnesses are mentioned, lead is a significant health hazard, particularly for vulnerable populations, making this a high-risk product where injury has not yet been reported.
