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 fits the criteria for a High severity score (3) under the rubric, as it poses a risk of harm to allergic individuals even without reported illnesses.
