Martinelli's recalls over 170,000 bottles of apple juice due to potentially toxic substances
Martinelli's, the brand name of S. Martinelli & Co., has voluntarily recalled more than 170,000 bottles of apple juice due to potential contamination with toxic substances. The recall was issued in 28 states on March 18 for 7,234 cases of the product, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 'In 2024, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) routine testing indicated that one lot of 10-ounce Martinelli's Apple Juice glass bottles (in 4-packs only) produced in December 2023 may contain elevated levels of Patulin, a naturally occurring substance produced by molds that can grow in apples,' Martinelli's said in a statement obtained by NBC News. The FDA classified the recall as a Class II, which is described as 'a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.' The recalled apple juice was distributed in almost 30 states. It has a 'best by' date of Dec. 5, 2026 and UPC number 0 41244 04102 2. Martinelli's said it has worked with retailers that received the recalled product. The retailers 'have removed anything that still remained in inventory. No other production dates or Martinelli's products are affected by this recall.' 'At S. Martinelli & Company, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of excellence, and the health and safety of our customers remains our greatest priority,' the statement concluded.

Martinelli's recalls 170,000 apple juice bottles over toxic mold risk
California-based S. Martinelli & Co. has issued a voluntary recall of more than 170,000 bottles of its popular apple juice due to concerns over potential contamination with patulin, a toxic substance produced by certain molds that can grow on fruit. The Watsonville (Santa Cruz County) juice company initiated the recall in March. The Food and Drug Administration classified it as a Class II recall last week, affecting 7,234 cases of 10-ounce glass bottles sold in 4-packs, each with a white metal screw-top lid. The bottles in question were produced in December 2023 and have a best by date of Dec. 5, 2026. They are marked with UPC number 0 41244 04102 2. No illnesses have been reported, and the company said all affected products have been removed from store shelves in 28 states, including California. According to the FDA, patulin is a naturally occurring toxin that may cause nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal issues. The Class II classification means the product could lead to temporary or medically reversible health effects, though the likelihood of serious harm is low. 'In 2024, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) routine testing indicated that one lot of 10-ounce Martinelli's Apple Juice glass bottles (in 4-packs only) produced in December 2023 may contain elevated levels of Patulin,' the company said in a statement.

Martinelli's recalls 170,000 juice bottles over toxic fungi risk
Martinelli's is recalling more than 170,000 apple juice bottles because their contents may be contaminated by patulin, a toxic substance produced by some fungi. The recall covers round glass 10-ounce bottles with white metal screw-top lids that were distributed in 28 states, from Alabama to Wisconsin, according to the FDA recall notice. S. Martinelli & Co., the Watsonville, California, beverage company that makes the drink, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The recall is listed as Class II, which under FDA guidelines signals that a product may "cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote." Patulin is a mycotoxin that's produced by a number of fungal species and is usually associated with foods infected by those fungi, including apples, according to the peer-reviewed journal Toxicon. Its side effects can include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, the journal Frontiers in Science notes.
