Display of apple juice bottles with a recall warning

News Summary

The FDA has issued a voluntary recall for nearly 174,000 bottles of S. Martinelli and Co. apple juice across 28 states due to potential contamination with patulin, a harmful mycotoxin. Consumers are advised to check labels for bottles with UPC 0 41244 04102 2 and a ‘best by’ date of December 5, 2026. While no illnesses have been reported, it’s recommended to dispose of or return the affected juice. Safety should always come first, so stay informed about your beverages to avoid health risks.

Apple Juice Recall: Stay Safe, Everyone!

Big news, apple juice lovers! The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is on the ball, issuing a *voluntary recall* for almost 174,000 bottles of S. Martinelli and Co. apple juice. If you love sipping on this refreshing drink, you’ll want to pay attention, especially if you reside in one of the affected states.

What’s Going On?

The recall affects a whopping 28 states, including our dear friends in Michigan. The reason behind the recall? Potential contamination with something called patulin. This strange-sounding mycotoxin is produced by certain molds and fungi that can grow on fruits, especially apples. It’s important to take this seriously; though the FDA has classified this recall as Class II, which means consumption may lead to temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects, it’s best to err on the side of caution!

Check Your Bottles!

If you happen to have some of this apple juice at home, you’ll want to look closely at the packaging. The recalled products come in four 10-ounce translucent glass bottles with shiny white metal screw top lids. If your bottle sports the UPC code 0 41244 04102 2 and has a “best by” date of December 5, 2026, it’s time to take action.

What Could Happen?

So, what’s the big deal about patulin? Well, consuming apple juice that contains this toxin could lead to symptoms like nausea and vomiting. Even scarier, it could potentially lead to DNA damage in some cells, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Yikes! That’s definitely not the apple juice experience anyone signed up for.

Are You Affected?

Enough about the science – let’s talk logistics. A total of 7,234 cases of this potentially contaminated apple juice have been distributed across the following states:

  • Alabama
  • Arkansas
  • Arizona
  • California
  • Connecticut
  • Delaware
  • Florida
  • Georgia
  • Iowa
  • Illinois
  • Indiana
  • Kansas
  • Kentucky
  • Louisiana
  • Michigan
  • Missouri
  • Mississippi
  • North Carolina
  • New Hampshire
  • New Jersey
  • New York
  • Ohio
  • Pennsylvania
  • South Carolina
  • Texas
  • Utah
  • Virginia
  • Wisconsin

If you find yourself in one of these areas and have this juice on your shelves, don’t take a sip! To stay safe, it’s recommended that you either throw out the juice or return it to where you bought it. Good news? As of now, there haven’t been any reported illnesses linked to the recall, so let’s keep it that way!

How to Proceed

Wrapping it up, it’s always wise to stay informed about what you’re drinking, especially when it comes to something tasty like apple juice. If you have this *delicious but potentially dangerous* drink in your home, please check those labels! Safety first, everyone!

Stay healthy and always keep an eye out for recalls – it’s better to be safe than sorry! Cheers to good health!
