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 2/5 (Moderate).

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: This is an FDA Class III recall with a minor labeling deficiency. Although the firm did not list sub-ingredients, all major allergens (milk, eggs, tree nuts, soy) are properly disclosed in the contains statement, presenting no actual undisclosed allergen risk. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. Class III recalls typically score 1–2; this scores 2 due to the allergen-related context of the labeling issue.
