What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary
Freshbev LLC is voluntarily recalling KEEP REFIGERATED, DEEP BEET Blend 5 Gal, Ripe Liquid Produce, and 2 oz immunity shots. The recall is being conducted because the products contain elevated levels of patulin, a mycotoxin that can be harmful to human health.
The recall includes 80 BIB (bag-in-box) units and 88 cases of 2 oz immunity shots. The affected products have a best-by date of 2/25/17 and Julian date 16362. These products were distributed in Connecticut, Florida, Colorado, New York, and Nevada.
Consumers who have purchased these products should stop using them and contact Freshbev LLC for further instructions or a refund. Patulin is a naturally occurring mycotoxin that can be found in apples and apple products, and its presence in liquid produce blends is a safety concern.
