What this means for you
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which the rubric defines as typically resulting in a score of 1 or 2 because it is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard is a labeling omission rather than a direct contamination or physical defect.
Plain-English summary
Jugos y Agua La Morovena Inc. is voluntarily recalling 309 gallons of Jugos La Morove¿a, China (Orange) juice. The product was distributed in Puerto Rico only. The recall is due to a labeling error where the required statement "Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine" is missing from the product labels.
This recall is classified as Class III by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, indicating that the product is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard is specific to individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU), a genetic disorder that requires strict dietary management of phenylalanine intake. The missing warning label prevents these consumers from identifying the product as containing phenylalanine.
Consumers who have purchased this product should check their labels. If the label does not contain the statement "Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine," they should stop using the product and contact the recalling firm for instructions or a refund. Individuals with PKU should consult their healthcare provider regarding any exposure.
