This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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: Milk is a common allergen, and the mislabeling creates a potential health risk for allergic consumers. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, which limits the severity to the risk of exposure without documented harm.
