Walmart is recalling thousands of cases of Great Value apple juice sold in over 25 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C. The recall, first announced by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on August 15 and updated on August 23, was triggered by higher-than-allowed levels of inorganic arsenic in the juice.
The FDA discovered that the juice contained 13.2 parts per billion (ppb) of arsenic, exceeding the recommended limit of 10 ppb set by the FDA in June 2023.
The recall involves 9,535 cases of apple juice, which were sold in packs of six 8-ounce plastic bottles with a UPC of 0-78742-29655-5 and a best by date of December 28, 2024.
Although there have been no reported illnesses linked to the juice, high levels of inorganic arsenic can cause symptoms like nausea and numbness.
The recall was initiated voluntarily by Refresco Beverages US Inc., the manufacturer of the product, according to Parade.
