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: FDA Class II recall involving allergen mislabeling (undeclared Yellow No. 5). Yellow No. 5 is a known allergen affecting consumers with sensitivity. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, making this a labeling hazard without documented harm.
