What this means for you
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 FDA classified this as a Class II recall, indicating a potential health hazard. Undeclared food colorants, particularly Yellow #5 (tartrazine) which is known to trigger reactions in sensitive individuals, represent a risk-of-harm situation. No illnesses have been reported, which per the rubric limits the score to level 3 (High) rather than higher.
