USDA FSIS: Public Health Alert
Public Health Alert is a warning FSIS issues when there is a food-safety concern but a recall is not requested, typically because the affected product is no longer available for purchase.
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 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling for milk, a common allergen, which corresponds to a score of 3 (High) per the rubric, as no illnesses have been reported.

The items were shipped to distributors in California, New York, and Texas.
