What this means for you

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, but the source text describes a manufacturing error causing acidity without reporting any illnesses, injuries, or specific high-risk pathogens, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary recall.
