Food safety is critically important to Woolworths and we take all issues regarding the production
of our food extremely seriously.
Following routine quality tests, Woolworths is recalling Woolworths branded 100% APPLE JUICE
200 ml cartons (single boxes and six packs) with the best before date of 23, 28 and 29 March
2022. It was identified that the apple juice in these products contains levels of patulin above the
regulatory limits. Patulin is a naturally occurring mycotoxin produced by mould and is commonly
associated with apples.
Customers who have purchased the product, should return the product to their local store for a
full refund. For more information please contact our customer service centre on 0860 022 002 or
visit woolworths.co.za Woolworths and our suppliers proactively manage and prevent microbial
contamination of food and have done so for many years. We have very strict protocols in place as
part of our standard food safety management process. To verify the safety of our food products,
we implement additional monitoring where we independently have our food products tested
randomly. (https://www.woolworths.co.za/corporate/cmp212878)
