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 due to unapproved production process for acidified foods. No reported illnesses or injuries. The recall is precautionary based on process non-compliance rather than confirmed contamination.
