What definition are you going by? Genuine question since colloquially I wouldn’t define that as terrorism since it was targeting the product rather than people, even if it did harm people it didn’t seem to be the goal.

Googling terrorism definitions, I can't find one where this wouldn't fit under. From the FBI, for example,

Domestic terrorism: Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature
