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 allergen mislabeling involving wheat, a major FDA allergen, which is explicitly listed in the Score 3 (High) criterion. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The FDA Class III designation typically yields lower scores, but the specific hazard of undeclared allergen mislabeling warrants High severity.
