Garden Harvest is recalling Bino's Italian Hot Peppers because the firm was manufacturing acidified foods without a license.

What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is related to regulatory compliance (unlicensed manufacturing) rather than a confirmed high-risk pathogen or allergen.
