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 ingredient presents a direct risk of injury through choking or dental/oral trauma. The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is described as potential rather than confirmed, which caps the score at 3 per the rubric for risk-of-harm products with no reported injury.
