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, which indicates a situation that may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is a specific contamination level rather than a high-risk pathogen like Listeria or Salmonella, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
