(FROM GA. NEWS NETWORK) – Walmart has recalled nearly 10,000 cases of apple juice due to potentially harmful levels of inorganic arsenic.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has classified the recall of Walmart’s store brand apple juice as urgent, stating that the affected product may cause temporary adverse health consequences.
The recall applies to Great Value brand apple juice sold in Georgia and 24 other states, Puerto Rico, and Washington DC. The manufacturer, Refresco Beverages US Inc., voluntarily recalled the contaminated juice bottles.
The FDA does not expect the low levels of arsenic in the recalled apple juice to cause severe health consequences.
