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 FDA Class II allergen mislabeling involving common allergens (milk and wheat). While the hazard is theoretical and no illnesses have been reported, mislabeled allergens on food products pose significant risk to allergic consumers.
