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: "Contain Eggs was not listed on scale label printed at retail stores. Label does state that the product May contain any of the eight allergen that are listed out on the label,"
