The product was shipped between March 13, 2023, and Sept. 27, 2023, with the majority of the product shipped before July 28, 2023.

The FDA has stated that exposure to elevated levels of inorganic arsenic can pose a health hazard to young children. The recall is a result of sampling by the State of Maryland that found samples from one production lot of Martinelli’s apple juice, sold in one-liter glass bottles, tested above the guidance action level for inorganic arsenic in apple juice.

Effective June 1, 2023, the FDA issued guidance lowering the industry action level for inorganic arsenic in apple juice from 23 parts per billion to 10 ppb, in line with the requirements for water.

No illness or complaints related to this product code has been reported to date, and no other production dates or Martinelli products are affected by this recall.

Consumers who have additional questions or concerns should call Martinelli’s at 1-800-662-1868.
