Walmart has recalled nearly 10,000 cases of apple juice sold in stores across the US that were found to contain potentially harmful levels of inorganic arsenic.
The US Food and Drug Administration spokesperson Molly Blakeman said in a statement. “We have removed this product from our impacted stores and are working with the supplier to investigate.” Very low levels of inorganic and organic arsenic are found in many food products, according to the National Institutes of Health. Testing is routine, as slightly elevated levels of either form can cause symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, numbness and muscle cramping.
Inorganic arsenic is more toxic to humans than the naturally occurring form of the mineral arsenic, and the health effects from exposure are more severe, according to the FDA. The Environmental Protection Agency has labeled inorganic arsenic a carcinogen, or a substance that causes cancer. Levels found in the recalled apple juice bottles are low enough that the FDA does not expect them to cause such severe health consequences.
