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: Undeclared colour additive rather than one of the major food allergens, which places it in the labeling-error band.
