This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

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 involves undeclared allergens (Yellow #5 and Yellow #6), which falls under the rubric criterion for 'Allergen mislabeling on common allergens' or high-risk hazards without reported illness.
