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 involving undeclared sulfites, a known allergen that can cause serious allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Although no illnesses are reported in the source text, undeclared common allergens that pose risk of serious harm without reported incidents merit a High (3) severity rating per the rubric.
