The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Class II recall warning for two popular sweetener products from NuNaturals Inc. due to a labeling mix-up. The recall, initially announced on July 14, affects Organic Pure Stevia and Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener, raising concerns for consumers who may have purchased mislabeled bottles.

This mislabeling could pose risks for consumers with specific dietary needs or allergies.

1. Stop using the recalled products immediately.
2. Discard them to avoid accidental consumption.
3. Monitor for symptoms like nausea, dizziness, or digestive discomfort.
