The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class III

Class III is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.

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 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 source text is an FDA Class III recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard (plastic fragments) is a physical contaminant that could cause harm, but without evidence of actual injury and given the low-risk classification, this meets the threshold for Moderate severity.
