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 for a common allergen (milk), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) according to the rubric.
Plain-English summary
Goulibeur is recalling 240 units of Goulibeur Pack of 15 pure butter shortbreads in 3 freshness packs, net weight 9.87 oz. The affected products have a batch number of 16490 and a best-by date of 08/15/2017. These items were distributed in Maryland.
The recall was initiated because the product packaging lists butter as an ingredient but fails to indicate that the food source for this ingredient is milk. This omission means the presence of the milk allergen is not clearly identified in the list of ingredients.

Individuals with a milk allergy or milk sensitivity should avoid consuming the product. The source text does not specify a contact method for refunds or further instructions.
