Olive skewers recalled for containing the banned sweetener cyclamates
Olive Skewers imported by MEI YU CHENG DA TRADING are being recalled because the product contains cyclamates, a sweetener not permitted in food in the United States.
The agency’s classification
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: FDA Class III recall for an unapproved food additive, which the rubric places in the 1-2 band; the presence of a banned sweetener rather than a purely cosmetic issue puts it at Moderate.
