The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class III
Class III is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.
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 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 FDA classified this as a Class III recall, which typically corresponds to a score of 1 or 2. Given the presence of undeclared allergens and chemical contaminants, a score of 2 (Moderate) is appropriate as it involves potential health risks but is not classified as a high-risk pathogen or immediate severe injury hazard.
