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 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: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is described as 'potential' (unconfirmed) microbial contamination. Per the severity rubric, when no illnesses are reported and the hazard is theoretical, the score is at most 3. The precautionary nature of the recall with no confirmed harm justifies a score of 2 (Moderate).
