During a routine quality check of a specific Carob drink batch, our laboratory analysis revealed a slightly higher pH value than that recommended by industry standards. This finding suggests that the product may be susceptible to the growth of harmful bacteria. Although these bacteria are commonly found in harmless states, their survival and potential harm to human health are dependent on the acidity level of the food product.

Out of an abundance of caution, we are conducting a voluntary recall of all Carob drinks in the market with expiration dates of 09/30/23 and Batch number 2203151. We would like to emphasize that there have been no reported illnesses or issues related to this product or any of our other products. Our products are highly acidic, with low pH levels, which prevent the growth of C.botulinum, a bacteria that requires pH levels above 4.6 to thrive and produce toxins.

We have been actively consulting with our food scientist advisors to identify the root cause of this deviation in pH levels and implement measures to enhance our quality control procedures.We understand the importance of maintaining your trust and confidence in us. We have never had any complaints or concerns regarding Carob or any of our products during our operations.

As a small business, this has been an incredibly challenging time. Nuba is a labor of love for us, and we remain committed to our values of integrity and transparency, and we will continue to work diligently to improve our products and processes to ensure the safety and satisfaction of our customers.
