The product could have levels of “patulin” that exceeds FDA limits. Winn-Dixie says it has received no reports of any problems associated with consumption of the juice.
Patulin is a mycotoxin, a by-product of some molds that can grow in fruits and vegetables. The possibility of adverse health consequences resulting from this product is very remote. However, the FDA has determined that products made from concentrate with a patulin level of over 50 parts per billion are subject to a voluntary recall.
The recall is company-wide for Winn-Dixie stores in the states of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
To receive a refund, customers may present proof of purchase through a receipt or the product packaging label.
Consumers with questions should contact the Winn-Dixie Customer Service Center toll free at 1 (866.946.6349) Mon. – Fri., 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST; and Sat., 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST.
