The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

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 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: FDA Class II recall involving high-risk pathogens (Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum) with potential for serious illness, particularly in vulnerable populations. No illnesses have been reported in the source material, but the risk posed by these pathogens warrants a High severity rating.
