Korean Pear Juice Recall Lawsuit | 2025 Latest Updates

What’s the Problem?

Evergreen Orchard Farm, LLC has recalled over 22,000 foil juice pouches of Korean Pear, Grape, and Jujube flavors because the products were unpasteurized and lacked adequate sanitation records, raising concern of contamination by harmful bacteria.

The recall includes 4-fluid-ounce foil pouches sold in cases of 25 between various retailers in several states. While no confirmed illnesses had been reported as of the recall date, consumption of unpasteurized juice with unknown sanitary standards can pose serious health risks, especially for children, older adults, pregnant individuals, and those with weakened immune systems.

No lawsuits are known to have been filed yet, but we are investigating potential legal claims from individuals who experienced illness, medical costs, lost work, or emotional harm due to exposure to the recalled products.
