What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (milk), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) per the rubric, as no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Nutrition Resource Services, Inc. is recalling JBN (Just Be Natural) Chocolate Mocha Confidence Nutritional Support for Bariatric Surgery 25G 100% Whey Isolate. The affected products are packaged in plastic bottles in two sizes: 43.9 oz (1,230g) and 17.4 oz (492g). The recall involves specific batch numbers: 2593, 2712, 2340, 2399, 2478, 2626, 2658, and 2734. The products were distributed nationwide.

The recall is being conducted because the protein powders and nutritional supplement products, which are made of whey concentrate, whey isolate, casein, and colostrum, are not labeled as containing milk. Although the product description includes an allergen statement noting that the product could have been processed in a facility containing milk, the specific failure to label the product as containing milk constitutes the hazard.

Consumers with a milk allergy or sensitivity should not consume these products. Individuals who have purchased the affected items should check their batch numbers against the list provided and stop using the product if it matches. Consumers can contact the recalling firm for further information or to arrange a return.
