What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

The product actually contains coconut, but the allergen is not declared on the label. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. Per the severity rubric, allergen mislabeling on common allergens without reported illness is classified as High (3).
