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 recall involves allergen mislabeling for soy, a common food allergen. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, failing to declare an allergen on product labels poses a potential risk to allergic consumers. Per the rubric, allergen mislabeling on common allergens without reported illness warrants a High severity rating.
