The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

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: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (peanut), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) according to the rubric, as no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.

The FDA has classified this recall as Class II, indicating that there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
