What this means for you

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, but the source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is limited to elevated microbial counts without specific high-risk pathogen identification, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
