Unpasteurized Orange Juice Recalled for Lack of HACCP Plan
Jugos Naturales del Pepino is recalling 29 gallons of unpasteurized natural orange juice because it was manufactured without a HACCP Plan.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
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 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is a procedural failure (lack of HACCP plan) rather than a confirmed contamination event, fitting the 'voluntary precautionary' or low-risk contamination criteria.
