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 recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the source text specifies 'trace amount' contamination without reporting any illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
