A California snack company recalled chocolate and other products last month. Now, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration has given some of those products a Class I classification which is the agency's highest risk level.

The products were recalled due to undeclared milk, soy, wheat, sesame, synthetic dye, and almonds that could lead to allergic reactions, according to an announcement the company shared through the FDA.

While no illnesses have been reported, the manufacturer, Cal Yee Farm LLC of Suisun Valley, California, is recalling chocolate and yogurt-covered products such as Dark Chocolate Walnuts, Dark Chocolate Raisins, Dark Chocolate Almonds, and more.

“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk, soy, wheat, sesame, FD&C #6 (synthetic dye), and almonds run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products,” the company said.

What do FDA classifications mean?

Recalls are often listed as pending in the Enforcement Report,which means a recall is needed but the FDA still needs to complete its assessment of the health hazard posed by the recalled products.

“While a company announces the initiation of their voluntary recalls, the FDA officially classifies these recalls in an FDA Enforcement Report at a later date,” the agency wrote in a statement to USA TODAY. “Once the agency’s hazard assessment is finalized, the Enforcement Report entry is updated with a classification (Class I, II, or III) that reflects the relative degree of health hazard associated with the recalled product(s).”

Per the FDA’s website, classifications include:

• Class I – The use of or exposure to a product could cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
• Class II – The use of or exposure to a product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
• Class III – The use of or exposure to a product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.
