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 Truffle Confidence Nutritional Support for Bariatric Surgery 25G 100% Whey Isolate. The product is packaged in plastic bottles in two sizes: 42.9 oz (1,216g) and 17.4 oz (494g). The recall involves 3,434 units distributed nationwide. Affected batch numbers are 2462, 2551, 2710, 2461, 2550, 2604, and 2656.

The recall is being conducted because protein powders and nutritional supplement products made of whey concentrate, whey isolate, casein, and colostrum are not labeled as containing milk. Although the product's ingredient list includes Whey Protein Isolate and an allergen statement notes the facility processes milk, the specific regulatory labeling requirement for milk as a major allergen in this context was not met.

Consumers with a milk allergy or sensitivity should stop using the product immediately. Individuals who have consumed the product and are experiencing symptoms should seek medical attention. Consumers can contact the recalling firm for further information or to return the product.
