What this means for you

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

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

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