Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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 low probability of serious adverse health consequences. The hazard involves prohibited colorants, which is a regulatory compliance issue rather than a high-risk pathogen or acute injury hazard.
