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, which indicates a remote probability of adverse health consequences. The hazard involves undeclared aspartame, a labeling error that poses a risk to individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) but is generally considered a moderate severity issue in the absence of reported injuries.
