What this means for you

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: This is an FDA Class II recall for foreign material contamination in a food product. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the presence of metal, wood, and other foreign materials in flour represents a genuine risk of serious injury to consumers if ingested. This qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
