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: This recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (coconut). Although laboratory analysis could not detect the allergen and no illnesses have been reported, the undeclared presence of a major allergen creates significant risk of harm to consumers with coconut allergies, particularly given the wide distribution across 14 states.
