What this means for you

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 involving a potential physical hazard (plastic foreign material) in a food product where injury has not yet been reported. The source text does not state any illnesses or injuries, so the score is at most 3 under the rubric. Class II with no reported harm and theoretical risk qualifies as High severity.
