Where it was sold

New Jersey New York

FDA's distribution note: Distributed to distributors in NJ, then further distributed to retail stores in NJ and NY.

Low risk, but check. Class III means the product is unlikely to make anyone ill but breaks an FDA rule, often a labeling one. If your package matches, the store will normally refund it. FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
