What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

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 with no reported illnesses, injuries, or deaths. The recall addresses a regulatory compliance issue regarding an unapproved food additive, without documented safety incidents.
