Walmart recalls Refresco apple juice sold in 25 states due to elevated arsenic levels

The US Food and Drug Administration has classified the recent Walmart apple juice recall as more urgent. The recall applies to nearly 10,000 cases of apple juice sold in stores across the US. The product was found to contain inorganic arsenic at levels exceeding industry standards. The affected product is the Great Value brand apple juice sold in 25 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. The manufacturer, Refresco Beverages US, voluntarily recalled the contaminated six-packs of 8-ounce juice bottles. The recall may cause temporary adverse health consequences but is unlikely to cause serious or irreversible medical issues. The FDA has not reported any illnesses associated with the recalled apple juice.
