The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class III
Class III is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.
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 2/5 (Moderate).
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.
