Severity 1 of 5
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Severity 1 (Low) recalls are typically cosmetic defects, documentation issues, packaging-only problems, and Class III administrative corrections. The product itself is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The manufacturer is correcting the issue to comply with FDA or USDA rules, not because anyone is at risk. You can almost always continue using a Severity-1 product without concern.
