Aldi, Walmart Apple Juice Recall Due to Arsenic Levels

There’s an active recall on various apple juice products sold at Aldi, Walgreens, Walmart and more, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). This is due to high levels of arsenic tested in the drinks.

This recall is an expansion of a Walmart apple juice recall announced in August. While the previous recall only affected 8-ounce bottles of Great Value Apple Juice, the following products have been added:

• Great Value Apple Juice sold in 96-ounce bottles with best by date “DEC 2624,” “DEC 2724” or “DEC 2824.”

This recall affects consumers across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. If you have one of the above recalled apple juice products in your refrigerator, dispose of it immediately or return to your place of purchase. The reason for this recall is because these juices “contain inorganic arsenic above action level set in guidance to industry,” per the FDA.

Arsenic is a toxic heavy metal, and while it’s normal and typically not dangerous to consume low levels of heavy metals in your diet, high levels of arsenic can lead to poisoning. Because fruit juices can be receptive to heavy metals, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends limiting these drinks in a child’s eating pattern as they are more prone to illness.

Symptoms of arsenic poisoning may include headaches, fatigue, confusion, flu-like illness, skin inflammation and seizures. If you or your child is experiencing any of these signs after drinking one of the recalled apple juice products, talk to your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
