More apple juice sold across the country is being recalled due to concerning levels of inorganic arsenic.
What began early last week as a recall of nearly 10,000 cases of Great Value brand apple juice sold by Walmart in 25 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, now involves 133,500 cases of multiple brands produced by Florida-based manufacturer Refresco Beverages, according to an expansion announced Friday by Walmart.

Other brands impacted include apple juice sold by Aldi, BJs, Market Basket, Walgreens and Weis Markets, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
