San Diego Coffee, Tea and Spice is recalling Pow Pow Powders hot cocoa mix because the product lacks ingredient and allergen labeling, with undeclared milk present in the formulation.
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 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: Allergen mislabeling involving a common allergen (milk) without reported illness meets the High severity criterion. The hazard is significant because consumers with milk allergies could unknowingly consume the product.
