            if ( (int) $product->get_stock_quantity() <= $threshold ) {
                $rows[] = $product;
            }
        }

        if ( ! $rows ) {
            echo '<p>All tracked products are above the low stock threshold.</p>';
            return;
        }

        echo '<table class="widefat striped"><tbody>';
        foreach ( $rows as $product ) {
            $edit_id = $product->get_parent_id() ? $product->get_parent_id() : $product->get_id();
            printf(
                '<tr><td><a href="%1$s">%2$s</a></td><td style="text-align:right;%3$s">%4$d</td></tr>',
                esc_url( get_edit_post_link( $edit_id ) ),
                esc_html( $product->get_name() ),
                $product->get_stock_quantity() <= 0 ? 'color:#d63638;font-weight:600' : '',
                (int) $product->get_stock_quantity()
            );
        }
