Why Was Jujube Juice Recalled?

Evergreen Farm Jujube Juice was recalled because the firm that made it, Evergreen Orchard Farm, LLC, lacked pasteurization and sanitation records, the FDA enforcement record says. Pasteurization is a heat treatment that kills harmful bacteria in juice. FDA juice safety guidance says most juice sold in the United States is pasteurized [5]. The same guidance says juice could be contaminated unless it has been pasteurized or otherwise treated. The record does not say whether these Jujube Juice pouches were untreated. Missing records are not proof that any pouch was contaminated.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

News coverage said no illnesses had been reported in connection with the recalled products as of September 3, 2025 [6]. The FDA enforcement record has no incident field and gives no illness, injury or death count for the Jujube Juice recall. Reports are not proof that the juice caused every illness. A lack of reports does not rule out illness. If you became ill after drinking the juice, the steps below explain who to contact.

1. Check the code on each pouch against the recalled codes, J20260910 and J20261110.

3. Return the juice to the distributor or market where you bought it, as the company said.
