Martinelli’s Apple Juice Faces Recall Over Mold Contamination Risks

S. Martinelli & Company released a recall last week of its well-known Martinelli’s apple juice for possible mold exposure. The first recall was on March 18th, 2025. The recall was recently upgraded to a Class II by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — a move that raises an already alarming situation to another level. This classification is the second most serious recall category. It has on its household hazardous products list products that expose consumers to “temporary” or “reversible” health effects.

The recall covers Martinelli’s four-packs of 10-ounce apple juice bottles, which are sold in round glass containers. The recall impacts 7,234 total cases. Recalled with the most caution. As a result of this recent reaction, the company is moving to address consumer safety quickly. Consumers can identify the affected products by looking for the UPC code: 0 41244 04102 2, as well as the Best By Date of 05DEC2026.

Contaminated apple juice distribution includes 29 states. These are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin. Now the company is encouraging consumers in these states to take a look inside their pantries. Consumers should check all products that could be covered by this recall, given the large distribution range.
