The following health alert is from the Wegman's and Wegman's on April 12, 2013. The following Wegmans Organic Apple Juice and Organic Cranberry Juice Blend (64oz) have been recalled because of the presence of patulin. Patulin is a mycotoxin produced by the Penicillium mold.
These two products have been recalled because Wegmans supplier (Clement Pappas & Co.) sent a notification that an ingredient (apple juice concentrate) was found to have an unacceptable level of patulin (a by-product of mold). Only bottles with the specific expiration dates noted above have been recalled. Although the risk of illness is remote, consumers are advised to dispose of the juice and bring the empty container back to the service desk for a full refund. Please do not consume the juice. For more information, call Wegmans Consumer Affairs at 1-855-934-3663, Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm.

The following health alert is from the FDA on April 12, 2013. 
Winn-Dixie today announced an immediate voluntary recall of 64 FL OZ Winn-Dixie Organic 100% Apple Juice. The product is being recalled as a precaution because it could have levels of “patulin” that exceeds FDA limits. Winn-Dixie has received no reports of any issues associated with Winn-Dixie Organic 100% Apple Juice consumption. 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. Out of an abundance of caution for customers, Winn-Dixie is immediately recalling “64 FL OZ Winn-Dixie Organic 100% Apple Juice from Concentrate with Added Ingredient.” The recall is companywide for Winn-Dixie stores in the states of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
Exp. Dates: Between 1/15/2014 and 3/25/2014 "We encourage customers in possession of any of the recalled item to immediately discard the product or bring it back to their store,” said Brian Wright, senior director of Winn-Dixie Corporate Communications. “Customers who have purchased the product may visit their neighborhood Winn-Dixie to request a full refund, no questions asked.” To receive the refund, customers may present proof of purchase through a receipt or the product packaging label. Consumers with questions about the recalled products may contact the Winn-Dixie Customer Service Center toll free at 1.866.WINN-DIXIE (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.
