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, which typically involves a minor labeling error or low-risk contamination. The source text identifies the issue as a discrepancy between the actual folic acid content and the label claim, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity labeling error.
