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 1/5 (Low).

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class III, which the rubric defines as typically resulting in a score of 1 or 2 because it is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. Rancidity is a quality issue rather than a safety hazard like contamination.
