As far as I can tell the FDA didn't make that recommendation for this. It's just what they recommend for all recalls:

https://www.foodsafety.gov/recalls-and-outbreaks

If the product details in the recall notice match the details on the food product you have at home, do not open or consume the product. Instead, do one of the following: + Return the product to the place of purchase for a refund. + Dispose of the product following the instructions provided in the recall notice to make sure no one will consume it.

I haven't been able to find a source for the FDA actually making any kind of statement on this recall at all.

If that's their official default recommendation, and they didn't say something to the contrary specifically for this recall, then that is what they're recommending for this recall.

If you want to be pedantic, this recall is not listed there at all, so your logic doesn't apply.

But that's not really the point. The point is that the going narrative is counterfactual.
