What this means for you

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically indicates a situation where there is a remote probability that adverse health consequences will be serious or permanent. The hazard involves potential cross-contact with pistachios (an allergen), but no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
