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 for a food product with potential for physical injury (metal contamination). The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, making this a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, which per the rubric scores as High (3).
