The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
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: This is a Class II recall involving allergen mislabeling of common tree nuts (cashews and macadamia). The presence of undeclared allergens in a product labeled as containing only walnuts presents a risk of allergic reaction to consumers with tree nut allergies, matching the High severity criterion for allergen mislabeling on common allergens.
