Jugos La Morovena Passion Fruit Juice Recalled for Missing Label Warning

Jugos y Agua La Morovena Inc. is recalling 150 gallons of Passion Fruit Juice because the labels lack the required phenylalanine warning for individuals 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 by definition is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard is a labeling omission rather than a physical or chemical contamination.

Plain-English summary

Jugos y Agua La Morovena Inc. is recalling 150 gallons of Jugos La Morove¿a, Parcha (Passion Fruit) juice. The product was manufactured and packaged in Morovis, Puerto Rico, and distributed exclusively within Puerto Rico. The specific lot affected is 17044.

The recall was initiated because the product labels do not include 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 while there is a violation of labeling regulations, it is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences.

Consumers who have purchased this specific lot of juice should check their labels for the missing warning. If the label does not contain the phenylalanine statement, they should stop using the product and contact the recalling firm for instructions on disposal or return.
