Youngstown Grape Distributors Inc., a co-manufacturer of Happy Moose Juice, is voluntarily recalling Happy Moose Tropical Roots Juice and Happy Moose Strawberry Fields because a portion of the production did not complete the High-Pressure Processing (HPP) treatment.
The treatment prolongs the product shelf-life, prevents spoilage, and significantly reduces the risk of pathogens such as Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, and E. coli. Those organisms could lead to serious illness if consumed.
According to the company’s recall notice posted by the Food and Drug Administration, this recall was initiated after complaints of spoiled juices were received.
There have been no reports of illness associated with these products to date. No other production codes or products are affected. However, there is concern that consumers may have the recalled juice in their homes because it expires Dec. 2.
The products included in this recall were sold in 12-ounce plastic bottles. The “Enjoy by 12/02/2024” date is on the bottom of the bottle, below the label.
Consumers who have purchased Happy Moose Juice Tropical Roots 12 fl oz, Lot# H240903-E BEST BY 12/02/2024, or Happy Moose Juice Strawberry Fields 12 fl oz, Lot# H240903-H, BEST BY 12/02/2024 are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers with questions may contact the company at 559-797-0252.
