This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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: The recall involves a physical hazard (aluminum fragments) in a food product. While no specific injuries are reported in the source text, the presence of foreign objects in food poses a risk of harm, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
