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.
