Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

No illnesses or contamination have been reported, and the hazard is theoretical—the risk that inconsistent labeling may result in improper storage of a perishable refrigerated product.
