What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 1/5 (Low).
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates a remote probability of temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The issue is a labeling error regarding nutrition facts, not a safety hazard like contamination or allergens.
Plain-English summary
