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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text identifies the issue as a labeling error regarding shelf life without reporting any illnesses, injuries, or deaths. This aligns with the rubric for minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination.
