A fruit juice sold in 12 states has been recalled over concerns it may contain a rare but deadly toxin.
Walker’s Wine Juice, based in Forestville, New York, recalled its pumpkin juice on Tuesday, as it may be contaminated with botulism, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
“Botulism is a potentially fatal form of food poisoning and can cause the following symptoms: general weakness, dizziness, double-vision, and trouble with speaking or swallowing,” according to the FDA notice.

The recalled pumpkin juice was distributed to a limited number of commercial wineries in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
