The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has elevated the recall of two NuNaturals sweetener products to a Class II risk warning on August 1, 2025. The recall, which began on July 14, involves 156 bottles of popular sugar-free sweeteners that were mislabeled, creating potential health risks for consumers with specific allergies.
The mix-up affects two products: NuNaturals Organic Pure Stevia (1 oz) and NuNaturals Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener (0.71 oz), with 78 bottles of each product involved in the nationwide recall. Bottles labeled as Organic Pure Stevia actually contain monk fruit powder, while those labeled as Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener contain stevia powder instead.
Consumers can identify affected products by checking specific details. Both recalled products share the same lot code (25104S) and best-by date (April 2028). The Organic Pure Stevia has UPC 7 39223 00204 0, while the Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener has UPC 7 39223 00187 6. Both come in small plastic bottles with white caps.

The FDA’s Class II designation indicates that using these mislabeled products may cause “temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,” though serious health risks remain unlikely. The primary concern is for individuals with allergies or sensitivities. People allergic to ragweed or related plants may react to stevia, while monk fruit allergies, though rare, are also possible.
Travis DeBacker, President of NuNaturals, stated: “At this time, there have been no reports of illness or injury. Customers with questions are encouraged to call us at 866-580-4524 or email: [email protected].”
Health experts advise consumers who may have purchased these products to stop using them immediately and discard them. Neither the FDA nor NuNaturals has published specific return instructions in the current recall notices.
This incident comes amid a recent string of labeling-error recalls affecting U.S. consumers. The recall remains active as authorities monitor for any reported adverse reactions.
For those concerned about potential exposure, health professionals recommend watching for signs of allergic reactions such as digestive discomfort or irritation. Anyone experiencing symptoms after using these products should contact their healthcare provider.
