Fruit juice recalled in 12 states over fear it could paralyze and kill
Briefly

Walker's Wine Juice LLC has issued a recall for its pumpkin juice after state inspectors found it lacked the necessary acidity levels to properly kill harmful bacteria during production. The juice, which was distributed across over a dozen states and primarily to wineries, poses a risk of botulism, a potentially fatal condition. The FDA has not reported any illnesses related to the product but has advised consumers to seek medical attention if they experience symptoms associated with botulism. The recall specifically affects certain packaged and bulk containers of the juice.
Authorities from the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food Inspectors found there was no 'kill step' in place to get rid of contaminants.
The FDA urges any customers with symptoms like muscle weakness, slurred speech, difficulty breathing, and paralysis to seek medical attention immediately.
