What this means for you

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: Undeclared peanut residue constitutes allergen mislabeling on a common, serious allergen, meeting the rubric criterion for Score 3. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported and the contamination is theoretical, allergen disclosure failures create documented risk to allergic consumers.
