Itoen (USA) Inc. is recalling Itoen Green Tea cans because unretorted product was inadvertently released for distribution in California.
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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically indicates a remote probability of serious adverse health consequences. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is a process deviation (unretorted product) rather than a confirmed high-risk pathogen or structural defect, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
