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: The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. Metal contamination in a food product presents a risk of harm (choking, dental/oral injury) even though no illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source text. This meets the rubric criterion for High severity: "risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported."
