What this means for you

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

Highest-severity recall. The hazard can cause serious injury or death. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which per the rubric mandates a minimum score of 4, and the presence of an undeclared major allergen (peanut) in a food product constitutes a critical hazard.
