Reported risk: Health Canada would like to reassure parents about the recent recall of two brands of pear juice products as a result of higher than normal levels of arsenic. The recall by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Loblaws Inc. was conducted as a precaution to prevent long-term exposure to arsenic. The levels that were found, while being higher than would normally be found in this type of juice, are not high enough to represent a risk to children or adults from short term exposure.
