Multiple Brands Whole Milk Recalled for Potential Potable Water Content

Multiple brands of Hiland and store-brand whole milk sold in Kansas and Missouri are being recalled because they may contain potable water, which is a composition concern.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class III recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is potable water, which is not inherently harmful. The issue is a product composition disclosure rather than a safety threat, consistent with the rubric guidance that Class III recalls are typically rated 1 or 2.
