The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class III

Class III is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.

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 2/5 (Moderate).

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 and involves mislabeling where the label does not match the contents. Per the rubric, FDA Class III recalls are typically scored 1 or 2; this is scored 2 as it involves a discrepancy in product identity and ingredients, which is more than a cosmetic defect but unlikely to cause serious harm.
