The Slurp Juice is one of the items that has been fundamentally changed as part of the update. Its total effect has been increased to 75 health points, one per 0.5 seconds.
Furthermore, once a player’s health is full, the remaining points are then granted as shield.
The reason why the Slurp Juice has been disabled is because there was a glitch that allowed players to benefit from the healing but still have the item in their inventory.
This was achieved by simply cancelling the animation of consuming the Juice before it had fully finished, and thus essentially allowing players to have max health and unlimited shield and health boosts all the time.
An example of the glitch in action can be seen below, in a video provided by news and leaks outlet ‘Fortnite Insider.‘
