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: This is an FDA Class II recall for a potential heavy metal contaminant (lead) in a food seasoning product. The source text does not report any confirmed illness or injury, and the contamination is described as "possible" pending lab results. Per the rubric, a hazard with theoretical risk and no reported illness typically scores at most 3 (High).
