Monk Fruit Recall Alert: FDA Says You Might Be Eating Stevia Instead ...Saudi Arabia

A sweetener swap you didn’t sign up for just got the FDA’s second-highest risk warning.

Bottles of monk fruit and stevia from NuNaturals, Inc. were accidentally mislabeled—meaning you might be spooning the wrong sweetener into your coffee. The company issued a voluntary nationwide recall on July 14, and the FDA officially classified it as a Class II recall on August 1.

So, what actually happened?

In short: the labels got swapped. Some bottles labeled Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener were actually filled with stevia, and some labeled Organic Pure Stevia had monk fruit inside instead.

According to NuNaturals, 78 bottles of each product are affected. Both share lot number 25104S and a best-by date of April 2028. The monk fruit version has UPC 7 39223 00187 6 (0.71 oz), and the stevia version has UPC 7 39223 00204 0 (1 oz). All were packaged in plastic bottles with white caps and sold nationwide.

The FDA’s website says a Class II recall is issued when “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.”

In other words, it’s not likely to be life-threatening, but it’s still something to take seriously, especially if you have allergies.

People who are sensitive to ragweed and related plants may also react to stevia—a risk flagged by Verywell Health. Monk fruit allergies are rare, but not impossible. The Independent notes that reactions can range from mild irritation to more serious issues like anaphylaxis.

This isn’t the only label mix-up the FDA’s flagged recently. On July 30, High Noon recalled some vodka seltzers that were accidentally labeled as non-alcoholic Celsius energy drinks, due to a packaging mix-up with a shared supplier.

And just a couple of weeks earlier, Bunge North America pulled 64,800 pounds of its NH European Style Butter Blend after the label failed to list milk, a major allergen. That recall was later upgraded to Class II by the FDA on July 30.
