What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves undeclared dyes (Yellow 5 and 6) rather than high-risk pathogens or common major allergens, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.
