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 II and involves a mislabeling of the primary ingredient (squid instead of octopus), which fits the criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination.
