Walmart apple juice recall expanded to included juice sold at Aldi, Walgreens, Weis and more
Refresco Beverages US Inc. of Tampa, FL, has expanded their recall of Great Value Apple Juice to include 133,500 cases of multiple other brands, including Market Basket, Nature’s Nectar, Nice!, Solevita, Urban Meadow, Weis and Wellsley Farms. The recall was initiated because the products contain inorganic arsenic above the action level set in guidance to industry.
The recalled apple juice was sold at Aldi, Walmart, Walgreens, BJ’s, Dollar General, Weis and other stores.
The recall was initiated on Aug. 26, 2024, and is ongoing.
About arsenic
According to the Food and Drugs Administration, arsenic is toxic to humans and can affect people of any age or health status. The potential for long-term adverse health effects from consuming food contaminated with arsenic vary depending on the level of arsenic in the food; age of the consumer; length, amount, and frequency of exposure to arsenic in the food; and other exposures happening at the same time—either to arsenic from other sources, or other contaminants or to beneficial nutrients.
Short-term exposure to very high amounts of inorganic arsenic can result in nausea, vomiting, bruising, and numbness or burning sensations in the hands and feet.
Current research indicates that inorganic arsenic is more dangerous than organic arsenic and the health effects from exposure are more severe. Organic arsenic compounds contain arsenic with carbon, and are not related to organic farming practices.
Exposure to high levels of arsenic during times of active brain development is associated with adverse neurological effects such as learning disabilities, behavior difficulties, and lowered IQ. Fetuses, infants, and children are particularly vulnerable to the potential harmful effects from arsenic exposure because of their smaller body sizes and rapid metabolism and growth.
For adults, long-term exposure to inorganic arsenic has been associated with skin disorders and increased risks for skin, bladder, and lung cancers, and for cardiovascular disease. For people of all ages, short-term exposure to very high amounts of inorganic arsenic can result in nausea, vomiting, bruising, and numbness or burning sensations in the hands and feet.
