Garden Harvest is recalling 153 cases of Roasted Mediterranean Pepper Relish because the firm was manufacturing acidified foods without a license.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text cites a regulatory compliance issue (unlicensed manufacturing) rather than a specific contamination or injury report, fitting the criteria for a moderate, precautionary recall.
