The product may be contaminated by spoilage organisms or pathogens, which could lead to serious or life threatening illness if consumed. This recall only affects cans marked with code 4200/01029.

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.
