What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: Undeclared milk is a common allergen mislabeling on a product intended for food service, which presents a risk of harm to allergic consumers. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, keeping the score at the maximum of 3 for this hazard type.
