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: Rubric level 2 covers low-risk contamination; elevated coliform counts are an indicator result and the notice names no pathogen or illness.
