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 III, which is typically a score of 1 or 2. However, undeclared sulfites are a significant labeling error that poses a risk to sensitive individuals, fitting the 'Moderate' criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination.
