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 involves spoilage bacteria rather than high-risk pathogens like Listeria or Salmonella, and no illnesses are reported, fitting the criteria for low-risk contamination.
