INDIANA— Walmart has recalled nearly 10,000 cases of apple juice sold in stores across the US, which were found to contain potentially harmful levels of arsenic.
The recall applies to Great Value brand apple juice sold in 25 states, including Indiana, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia.
“We have removed this product from our impacted stores and are working with the supplier to investigate,” a Walmart spokesperson said.
Florida-based manufacturer Refresco Beverages US has voluntarily recalled the contaminated juice after discovering chemical contaminant levels that exceeded industry standards. The levels found in the recalled apple juice bottles could cause sickness, but they are low enough that the FDA does not expect them to cause such severe health consequences.
