What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

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 agency classified this as an FDA Class III recall, which is defined as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The issue is a process specification failure regarding pH measurement rather than a confirmed contamination or injury event.
