What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling (undeclared peanut) on a common allergen, which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) per the rubric, as no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
