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 involves a low probability of serious adverse health consequences. The hazard is an undeclared color additive (Yellow 6), which is a labeling error rather than a high-risk pathogen or common allergen like peanuts or milk.
