What this means for you

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 allergen mislabeling on common allergens, which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) per the rubric, as no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
