Puratos Corporation is recalling NSA Creme Cake in 50-pound bags due to potential metal contamination. The product may pose a choking or injury hazard.

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. While no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, metal contamination in a food product poses a direct risk of harm (choking, dental injury, internal injury) if the product is consumed. This qualifies as a high-severity risk-of-harm scenario without yet-reported injury.
