A nationwide recall of apple juice has been expanded due to elevated levels of inorganic arsenic.
What started last week with a recall of nearly 10,000 cases of Great Value apple juice, sold by Walmart in 25 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia, has now been broadened to include 133,500 cases from various brands produced by Florida-based Refresco Beverages, according to an update released by Walmart on Friday.
Refresco has not yet responded to requests for comment.
The recall now affects apple juice sold under several brands, including those available at Aldi, BJ's, Market Basket, Walgreens, and Weis Markets, as reported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
At Walmart, the recalled Great Value apple juice was sold in six-packs of 8-ounce plastic bottles and 96-ounce bottles across more than 2,000 stores in the affected areas. A full list of impacted locations can be found here.
Walmart issued a statement to CBS News, saying, "The health and safety of our customers is always a top priority. We have removed the affected products from our stores and are working with the supplier to investigate the issue."
Aldi U.S. is recalling 64-ounce plastic bottles of Nature's Nectar 100% Apple Juice with best-by dates of March 26, 2025, and March 27, 2025. The UPC code for the affected product is 4099100036381. This recall pertains to Aldi stores in 16 states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Aldi U.S. stated, "Aldi prioritizes the safety and integrity of the products we sell. Customers with affected products should discard them immediately or return them to their local store for a full refund."
