The recall is classified as a Class II event by the FDA, meaning the contaminated product could cause "temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences," though the risk of serious harm is considered remote, the agency's website states.
As of Sunday, there have been no reports of injuries or adverse reactions.
A full list of recalled products -- including recall numbers, codes, quantities and descriptions -- has been posted online by the FDA.
