Patulin risk assessment

A voluntary recall of S. Martinelli & Co. apple juice has recently been issued in the United States due to the presence of patulin.

FDA has classified the recall in class II.

Patulin is a mycotoxin associated with apples and their derivatives.

The product was considered toxic because its ADD was higher than the PMTDI for patulin (0.4 micrograms per kg).
