ALERT: Popular Drink Recall in Michigan

A recent product recall has hit Michigan, involving a popular brand of apple juice that many might have in their homes, especially if you’ve got kids. The product in question is the Great Value 8oz Apple Juice, sold in packs of six and labeled as 100% juice.

The recall was initiated because the product contains inorganic arsenic levels above the industry’s action threshold, specifically 13.2 parts per billion (ppb), which is concerning when it comes to the safety of what we serve our families.

The recall affects a substantial number of products—9,535 cases in total. The specific batch to look out for is marked with the "Best if Used by DEC2824 CT89-6" date code. If you’ve got any of this juice in your pantry, it’s time to check the label.

This recall is classified as a Class II recall, which means the product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, but the likelihood of serious health effects is lower. Despite this, the recall should still be taken seriously, especially considering the potential risks associated with arsenic exposure.

The recall was voluntarily initiated by Refresco Beverages US Inc., the company responsible for the product, based in Tampa, Florida. They’ve been notifying retailers in various states, including Michigan, through letters. While there hasn’t been a press release issued for this recall, the fact that it’s ongoing means it’s still a relevant concern.

If you’ve bought this apple juice recently, it’s worth double-checking the details. Safety comes first, especially when it involves something that could affect your health or that of your loved ones.
