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: The recall is classified as FDA Class I, which typically indicates a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death. However, the specific hazard is allergen mislabeling (undeclared tree nut) without reported illnesses, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for allergen mislabeling on common allergens.
