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 2/5 (Moderate).

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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is theoretical (temperature control failure could support pathogen growth) with no specific pathogens confirmed. Per the rubric, recalls with theoretical hazards and no reported illness are scored at most 3, resulting in a Moderate (2) classification.
