Why Were the Juices Recalled?
According to the FDA enforcement notices for all six juices, the drinks have been recalled because they are “under-processed” products. This means that they “may contain pathogenic bacteria” that could be harmful if consumed
Pathogenic bacteria are harmful microorganisms that can enter the body through contaminated food or drinks. Once ingested, they can cause infections, illness, and in severe cases, life‑threatening complications.
Science Direct warns that “pathogenic bacterial infections are a significant threat to human safety and health.”
This is why the FDA has issued a Class I recall for all six juices.
Where Were the Recalled Juices Sold?
The recalled juices were distributed in the following 24 states:
- Alaska
- Arizona
- California
- Hawaii
- Idaho
- Montana
- Nevada
- Oregon
- Utah
- Washington
- Arkansas
- Colorado
- Illinois
- Indiana
- Louisiana
- Minnesota
- Missouri
- Mississippi
- North Dakota
- Oklahoma
- South Dakota
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Wyoming
What Does a Class I Recall Mean?
The FDA classifies recalls to describe to the public how risky the product is if someone were to use or consume it.
A Class I Recall is issued when there is a serious or life‑threatening risk to the consumer.
This is the most urgent type of recall, as it means the product could seriously harm someone or even cause death if the product is used or consumed. Examples include food or drinks that have been potentially contaminated with dangerous bacteria.
A Class II Recall is issued if there is some risk associated with using or consuming the recalled product, but the risk is not deemed life‑threatening.
It also means the product might make a person temporarily sick or cause a reversible health issue, but it’s not likely to cause any serious, long-term harm.
A Class III Recall is issued when there is a low risk of harm to the consumer.
This is the least serious recall level. It means the product has a regulatory or quality problem, but it’s unlikely to cause any harm if used or consumed.
What Should Consumers Do If They Have the Recalled Juice?
Neither the FDA nor Everpress have published a press release about the recall, offering advice on what consumers should do if they have the recalled product. However, typical advice from the FDA would be not to consume the product and to discard it immediately.
