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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, only physical signs of spoilage (swelling, odor). This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary measures without reported harm.
