What this means for you

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 III, which typically corresponds to a score of 1 or 2. Given the presence of undeclared allergens and ADA, a score of 2 (Moderate) is appropriate as it involves labeling errors and potential contamination, but the agency deems it unlikely to cause adverse health consequences.
