What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a risk-of-harm product (metal contamination in a food ingredient) with no reported illness or injury. Per the rubric, theoretical hazards in FDA Class II recalls with no reported harm score at most 3; metal contamination warrants 3 rather than 2 due to the direct injury risk if ingested.
