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 is FDA Class II allergen mislabeling on common tree nuts (walnuts and pecans) without reported illness or injury. The mislabeling creates risk for consumers with nut allergies who may unknowingly consume a different allergen.
