What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the contamination is a physical hazard (metal) in a food product intended for commercial/institutional use rather than direct retail consumption. This qualifies as moderate severity under precautionary recall criteria.
