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 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.
