Jugos La Morovena Tamarind Juice Recalled for Missing Phenylalanine Warning

Jugos y Agua La Morovena Inc. is recalling Tamarind Juice in Puerto Rico 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 recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates a remote probability of adverse health consequences. The hazard is a labeling omission rather than a physical contamination or structural defect.

Plain-English summary

Jugos y Agua La Morovena Inc. is voluntarily recalling Jugos La Morove¿a, Tamarindo (Tamarind) juice. The product was manufactured and packaged in Morovis, Puerto Rico, and distributed only within Puerto Rico.

The recall was initiated because the product labels do not include the required statement "Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine." This warning is necessary to inform individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) that the product contains phenylalanine, an amino acid they must avoid.

Consumers who have purchased this product should check their labels. If the warning statement is missing, they should stop consuming the product and contact the recalling firm for further instructions.
