The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

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 3/5 (High).

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 allergen mislabeling—specifically unlabeled sulfites on a food product. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, but the unlabeled allergen presents a risk of harm to consumers with sulfite sensitivity. Per the rubric, allergen mislabeling on common allergens without reported illness scores as High (3).
