Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

The agency gives the reason as: "Product has an error on the ingredient listing of the packaging for product produced by Italian Peoples Bakery. The listing should include whey, but it is not included."
