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.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class III
Class III is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 1/5 (Low).
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.
