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 III, which the rubric associates with minor labeling errors or low-risk issues that are unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The specific issue is a discrepancy between the ingredient list and the 'Contains' statement regarding milk/dairy.

Plain-English summary

The recall is limited to 4 dozens of the product, which were distributed in Oregon only. The specific code for the affected product is 032718, and the product does not have a UPC.
