Jugos La Morovena Soursop Juice Recalled for Missing Phenylalanine Warning

Jugos y Agua La Morovena Inc. is recalling 95 gallons of Soursop juice in Puerto Rico because the labels lack the required phenylalanine warning for people with phenylketonuria.

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 FDA classified this as a Class III recall, which indicates a remote possibility of adverse health consequences. The hazard is a labeling omission rather than a physical contamination or defect.

Jugos y Agua La Morovena Inc. is recalling 95 gallons of Jugos La Morove¿a, Guanabana (Soursop) juice. The product was distributed in Puerto Rico only. The specific lot affected is 17044.
