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: This is an FDA Class III recall involving a minor labeling error regarding undeclared food colorants. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the undeclared items are FDA-approved food additives, not pathogens or major allergens.
