Walmart has recalled nearly 10,000 cases of apple juice sold in stores across the U.S. that were found to contain potentially harmful levels of inorganic arsenic.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave the recall a more urgent classification Friday after making its original announcement Aug. 15. The new classification said the affected product may temporarily cause adverse health consequences but is unlikely to cause serious or irreversible medical issues.

Same here.
I check labels for the source and often bypass produce from South American countries.
How old are you? Six?
People should watch Tucker Carlson’s interview with Casey and Callie Means that is posted elsewhere on FR...shows how ‘Big Pharma’ keeps you sick in order to sell you medication. What else is new?
If you’re drinking the clear, bottled stuff from the grocery store, you’re just drinking apple-flavored syrup water.
I see apple juice most appropriately in sippy cups and “juice” bags where you puncture it with a straw.
It is the child’s drink, because it is not really juice.
Agent Blue perhaps.
Yes, that is how the little old ladies killed their gentlemen friends in the Cary Grant movie “Arsenic and Old Lace”.
“My understanding is that most apple juice comes from China.”
First we offshored our industrial supply chains, then we offshored our pharmaceutical manufacturing, now we are offshoring our food supply and dismantling our fossil fuel energy infrastructure with no plan for replacing it other than platitudes about future “green energy”.
What could possibly go wrong?
Remember, the essentials of life for human beings are food, clothing and shelter. In a 21st century economy a reliable energy infrastructure is also critical.. Our food supply is becoming dependent on imports and overseas supply chains, we no longer have a textile industry to clothe our population. Housing is now too expensive for young people to purchase and the government is bringing in millions of unskilled third world people, and giving them rent subsidies, to crowd out young Americans trying to establish themselves in the economy. Government is racing ahead with policies intended to eliminate fossil fuels within a decade with no viable plan to replace the energy supply system with the green energy it lauds.
Food, clothing, shelter, energy. All vulnerable and under attack by the federal and many state governments. Is a government legitimate if its policies are specifically designed to deny citizens the basic essentials to sustain life?
So... Who was the genius at Walmart who said... ‘Lets add arsenic to the apple juice’.
Yeah, I saw that.
But lots of retailed juices are reconstituted from concentrate without (mineral) arsenic issues.
Why just apple juice contaminated?
We drink our homemade V-8 and Grape juices. I will buy the low-sugar cranberry juice for a change of pace once in a while.
I can’t drink orange juice - something about the processing makes my joints ache really bad - same for my Sister and Dad. But, eating a fresh orange doesn’t bother me.
Yes, juice is nothing but sugar. I am kind of regretting all the apple, cherry and pear trees we now have in production. Not much you can do to preserve fruit without adding sugar - other than dehydrating.
But, WTSHTF I’ll probably be glad we have them; I’ll need those extra calories fighting in the Zombie Apocalypse. ;)
No. Especially considering the wording of the Constitution.
Which, most people don't realize, is to rein in the government, NOT the people.
Yeah, dehydrating seems the best option but a LOT of work during an already busy growing season.

The devil, as usual, is in the details...

Yikes. I don’t drink apple juice, but I do buy the Great Value brand of foods often. Hmmmmm, indeed.
I think there’s more to this story.
Just a hunch.
That points toward a pesticide or fungicide that's only used on apple trees.
