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: Metal contamination in a food product presents a direct risk of choking or internal injury. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, but the hazard is concrete and not theoretical. This meets the "High" rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
