Tampa, Fla. (Nexstar) – More than 170,000 bottles of Martinelli apple juice are recalled of potential contamination by paturine, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Patrin, a naturally occurring toxin classified as “mycotoxins,” can be produced by different types of mold that grow in apples (among other grains and fruits) and carry over to apple products, the World Health Organization explains. The pasteurization process also cannot remove patrin products, according to the FDA.
