Walmart has recalled thousands of cases of apple juice sold in stores in 25 different states due to a shocking contamination threat. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that the manufacturer had discovered high levels of arsenic in the product, and it was a potential threat to consumers. The recall applies to Great Value brand apple juice sold in packs of six 8-ounce bottles.
The FDA announced this recall on Aug. 15, but elevated the urgency level on Friday. It now warns that the contaminants which may be present in this product could have temporary adverse effects on health, but they are still unlikely to cause serious or irreversible damage. It didn’t take long for the recall to raise eyebrows on social media and in the press, since arsenic is often refered to as a poison in the media.
