Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

The agency gives the reason as: "Meijer initiated a voluntary recall of Meijer Almonds Salted Caramel on 11/7/2016 due to undeclared allergen peanuts."
