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 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 is classified as FDA Class II, which typically involves a situation that may cause temporary or medically reversible health adverse effects. The presence of a foreign material (resin trim ring) in food is a significant quality and safety issue, but the source does not report specific injuries or illnesses, placing it in the Moderate category per the rubric for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary recalls without reported harm.
