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 an FDA Class III recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is an undeclared ingredient (bovine collagen in the casing), which is a labeling transparency issue rather than a food-safety hazard. Per the rubric, Class III recalls are typically scored 1-2; this is scored 2 (Moderate) for the labeling error.
