Walmart recalling apple juice due to arsenic levels
Walmart is recalling nearly 10,000 cases of apple juice as a result of inorganic arsenic levels that exceed the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standard set last year.
A spokesperson for Walmart said in a statement that the company has removed the affected products from its shelves.
“The health and safety of our customers is always a top priority,” the spokesperson said. “We have removed this product from our impacted stores and are working with the supplier to investigate.”
The FDA updated its recall classification on Friday to “Class II,” which means the food products “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
The recall, which was initiated Aug. 15, includes 9.535 cases of Great Value apple juice.
The apple juice is packaged in six-packs of 8-ounce plastic bottles, with UPC barcode 0-78742-29655-5. The products have a “best used” date of Dec. 28, 2024.
The apple juice cases were sold in 25 states in the central and eastern half of the country, as well as in the District of Columbia and in Puerto Rico.
The product has been sold in retail stores in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Vermont and West Virginia.
The apple juice is manufactured by Refresco Beverages US Inc, which is located in Tampa, Fla. The Hill has contacted Refresco for comment.
