Two sugar-free products from NuNaturals, Inc. have been recalled after the company discovered a labeling error that could pose a health risk.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Class II recall warning, meaning the mislabeled products might cause temporary or medically reversible harm.

The recall involves two items: Organic Pure Stevia and Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener, both packaged in small white-capped plastic bottles.

The issue? The bottles were accidentally switched. Some Stevia was labeled as Monk Fruit, and some Monk Fruit was labeled as Stevia.

On July 14, NuNaturals began the recall, which affects 156 bottles total—78 of each product. The items were sold in grocery stores across the country, USA Today said.

Though no one has reported getting sick, the FDA officially classified the recall as Class II on August 1.

Here are the details of the affected products:

Organic Pure Stevia – 1 ozUPC: 7 39223 00204 0

Actual contents: Monk Fruit powder

Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener – 0.71 oz

Lot number: 25104S

Sweetener Recall Raises Allergy and Labeling Questions

While allergies to both sweeteners are rare, they can happen. Stevia comes from a plant related to ragweed, and people with ragweed allergies could react badly.

Possible symptoms include rashes, swelling, fast heartbeat, trouble breathing, or a swollen tongue.

According to DailyMail, though only a small batch was affected, the recall drew attention because Stevia and Monk Fruit are popular with people who want sugar alternatives, especially those managing diabetes.

Both sweeteners are much sweeter than sugar but contain no calories.

So far, NuNaturals has not explained how the error occurred or which stores received the mislabeled items.

The company has also not offered clear instructions for customers who may have purchased the wrong product.

The FDA says people with food allergies should always check labels carefully. In this case, the mislabeled products could have exposed someone to a sweetener they were trying to avoid or didn't expect.

As of now, the recall is still active, and the FDA has not confirmed if any more products are under investigation.

Customers are advised to check their bottles and stop using the product if it matches the recalled UPC or lot number.
