Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class I, which indicates a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. The presence of undeclared major allergens (eggs and milk) in a product labeled as vegan constitutes a severe hazard.
