What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: This recall is classified as FDA Class I, which requires a minimum severity of 4 per the rubric. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the undeclared allergen (sodium metabisulfite/sulfite) poses a risk to sensitive consumers.

The potatoes contain sodium metabisulfite, a food preservative, but this ingredient is not declared on the product label. Sodium metabisulfite is a sulfite, which can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, particularly those with asthma.
