NuNaturals has recalled select lots of Organic Pure Stevia and Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener after a labeling mix-up. The FDA designated the recall Class II; consumers should check lot 25104S bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NuNaturals, based in Eugene, Oregon, initiated a voluntary recall on July 14 affecting limited bottles of the two tabletop sweeteners. On August 1, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration assigned a Class II risk classification. The labeling error swapped contents between certain bottles, raising concerns for people with specific allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Class II classification signals that use or exposure could lead to temporary or medically reversible health effects, while the likelihood of serious consequences is remote, according to the FDA. However, allergy risks make accuracy on labels essential. Have a sensitivity to stevia, ragweed, or monk fruit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WebMD notes that people allergic to ragweed and related plants may also react to stevia, and monk fruit reactions, though uncommon, can occur.
