Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates the product is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard involves an unintended ingredient (sulfur dioxide) rather than a high-risk pathogen or severe injury risk, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
