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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically involves a remote probability of serious adverse health consequences. The hazards involve non-permitted additives and undeclared ingredients, which are significant labeling and compliance issues but do not indicate an immediate, high-risk pathogen or acute injury risk in this context.
