What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "The chocolates included in the meal kits may contain undeclared milk allergens."
