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.
