Frozen Lentil Soup Recalled for Undeclared Wheat Allergen

What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class III recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is an undeclared allergen (wheat), which is a labeling error on a common allergen. Per the rubric, Class III recalls are typically scored 1 or 2; the presence of allergen mislabeling without confirmed cases justifies a score of 2.
