The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
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: This is an undeclared allergen (wheat) recall of a food product distributed through food service channels. Under the rubric, allergen mislabeling on common allergens qualifies as "High" severity, and the source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported, but the hazard represents a significant risk of harm to allergic consumers.
