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: This is allergen mislabeling involving a common allergen (walnuts) where the hazard is present but the outer packaging failed to declare it. Per the rubric, allergen mislabeling on common allergens is classified as High (score 3).
