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: The recall is classified as High severity because it involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (wheat), which poses a significant risk to sensitive individuals, even though no specific illnesses are reported in the source text.
