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).

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (Yellow #5), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) according to the rubric, as no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
