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: The recall is classified as Class III (Marginal) by FSIS, and the source explicitly states there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions, fitting the criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination.
