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 'non-safety quality concern' regarding spoilage, which aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary measures without reported injuries.
