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/cross-contact with a common allergen (tree nuts) without reported illnesses, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria in the rubric.
