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 III and involves a labeling error regarding an allergen (peanuts). While allergen mislabeling is generally high-risk, the specific Class III designation and the nature of the error (undeclared ingredient in a product that already contains the ingredient) align with the 'Minor labeling errors' criterion for a Moderate score.
