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 5/5 (Critical).

Highest-severity recall. The hazard can cause serious injury or death. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, and the source text explicitly reports one instance of an anaphylactic reaction, which constitutes a serious injury report under the severity rubric.

Plain-English summary

The recall was initiated because the raw material supplier of the chocolate used for the bar coating inadvertently added milk ingredients.
