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: The recall involves allergen mislabeling of a common allergen (soy) without reported illnesses or injuries, which meets the criterion for High severity. Undeclared allergens pose direct risk to sensitive individuals even without active illness reports.
