This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
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 the rubric defines as typically scoring 1 or 2 because it is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The presence of undeclared dyes fits the criteria for minor labeling or low-risk contamination issues.
