A recall has been issued for fruit juices due to a food safety processing issue that could potentially expose consumers to dangerous pathogens.

In a recall notice shared on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website Monday, consumers were warned that two Happy Moose Juice products had been recalled due to concerns that some products could be contaminated with harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes And E.coli.

“Some of the production produced has not completed High Pressure Processing (HPP) treatment, which is used to extend product shelf life, prevent spoilage and significantly reduce the risk of pathogens,” the release said.

The recall affects the following products: Happy Moose Tropical Roots Juice, with lot number H240903-E and a UPC number of 860012096503, and Happy Moose Strawberry Fields, with lot number H240903-H and UPC number 866175000388.

Both recalled juices have a best before date of 2/12/2024 and were sold in 12-ounce plastic bottles that were shipped to the distributor in corrugated boxes containing nine bottles each. Fewer than 3,000 bottles produced were affected by the recall.

Customers were urged to return the recalled products to their point of sale for a full refund. Those with additional questions can contact the company by phone at 559-797-0252 between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM Pacific Time.

Happy Moose co-manufacturer Youngstown Grape Distributors Inc. first announced the recall last Friday, after complaints about tainted juices. No additional illnesses had been reported as of Monday.

Newsweek Happy Moose Juice reached out for comment via email on Monday.

Salmonella is the most common cause of food poisoning in the U.S. Eating contaminated food can lead to an infection known as salmonellosis, which usually occurs between six hours to six days after consumption, according to the U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service.

Cases of salmonellosis typically last four to seven days and include symptoms such as abdominal cramps, diarrhea and fever. Severe cases, which are more common in children, the elderly, or people with compromised immune systems, may include a range of other symptoms involving the joints and nervous system.

E.coli usually causes unpleasant symptoms within three to four days of eating contaminated food. Symptoms may include dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps.

While most people recover from a E.coli infection within a week, a rare form of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome can affect 5 to 10 percent of people infected with certain strains of the bacteria. Older adults and children under 5 years old are especially vulnerable.

Listeriosis, an infection of Listeria monocytogenes, can lead to serious symptoms, even in otherwise healthy people. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 260 of the estimated 1,600 annual cases are fatal.

Most cases of listeriosis are confined to the digestive system, with symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting developing within 24 hours of consuming contaminated food. However, in some people, a more invasive form of the disease develops within two weeks.

Symptoms of invasive disease include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and seizures. About one in twenty people who suffer from invasive listeriosis without being pregnant will die from the disease.

For those who are pregnant, symptoms are generally mild or nonexistent, but invasive disease “usually leads to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth, or life-threatening infection of the newborn,” according to the CDC.
