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 III, which typically corresponds to a score of 1 or 2. Given the hazard involves an undeclared major allergen (peanuts), which poses a risk to sensitive individuals, a score of 2 (Moderate) is appropriate as it is more significant than a cosmetic defect but lacks the severity of Class I or II classifications.
