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: This is an FDA Class II recall for undeclared milk labeling on a common allergen. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is allergen mislabeling, which presents risk to sensitive populations but falls under the "Moderate" tier because the source text does not indicate reported hospitalizations or actual harm.
