The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class III
Class III is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 1/5 (Low).
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as a Class III recall, which by definition is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences, and the issue is a labeling omission rather than a physical contamination or defect.
Plain-English summary
Jugos y Agua La Morovena Inc. is recalling 195 gallons of Jugos La Morovena Toronja (Grapefruit) juice. The product was distributed in Puerto Rico only. The specific lot affected is 17044.
The recall was initiated because the product labels lack the required statement "Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine." This warning is necessary for individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU), a genetic condition that requires strict dietary management of phenylalanine intake. The FDA has classified this recall as Class III, indicating that there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the violative product will not cause adverse health consequences.
Consumers who have purchased this product should check their labels for the missing warning. If the label does not contain the statement "Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine," they should stop using the product and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal.
