FDA (Food): Class III
Class III is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.
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: Scored 2 as an FDA Class III labelling error, which the rubric places at 1 or 2; a missing colour additive declaration with no reported illness sits at the upper end.
