Health officials have issued an urgent nationwide product recall for several popular juice products manufactured by Evergreen Orchard Farm. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has flagged potential safety concerns, prompting immediate action from retailers and consumers alike.
Affected Products and Batch Details
The recall specifically targets Evergreen Orchard Farm's 64-ounce plastic bottle varieties of Apple Juice and Cherry Juice. Consumers are urged to check their refrigerators immediately for products bearing the UPC codes 0 35269 00149 3 (Apple Juice) and 0 35269 00152 3 (Cherry Juice).
Reason for Recall
While the FDA has not disclosed the specific nature of the potential hazard, the recall has been classified under the agency's most serious category. This indicates that there is a reasonable probability that consumption of the affected products could cause adverse health consequences.
What Should Consumers Do?
If you have purchased either of these products, you are advised to:
- Stop consumption immediately and do not drink the juice.
- Either discard the product or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
- Monitor yourself for any potential symptoms and seek medical advice if concerned.
Company Response and Retailer Action
Evergreen Orchard Farm has fully cooperated with the FDA, initiating the voluntary recall to ensure customer safety. Major supermarkets and independent retailers across the United States are removing the specified batches from their shelves. The company has stated that no other products or batch codes are affected by this action.
This incident serves as a critical reminder for consumers to remain vigilant about product recall notices, which are essential for maintaining public health and safety.
