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, and the hazard is a labeling error regarding gluten content. This fits the rubric for moderate severity involving minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination where no specific injuries are reported.
