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 FDA classified this as a Class III recall, which indicates the product is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard involves an unapproved additive (cyclamates) without reported illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate or low-risk labeling/contamination issue.
