Tropicana issues orange juice recall

BRADENTON, FLORIDA - Juice maker Tropicana Products is recalling 100,000 gallon-size jugs of orange juice sold at Sam&#39;s Club stores nationwide because some may have been tainted with a cleaning solution. <br> <br> Tropicana said about 500 bottles of ``super size&#39;&#39; Pure Premium Calcium orange juice, with an expiration date of April 15, were inadvertently exposed to a solution used to clean bottling equipment. <br> <br> The solution could cause an upset stomach or mouth discomfort. <br> <br> Kristine Nickel, a spokeswoman for Tropicana, said Friday the problem was discovered when a customer in Utah drank from one of the contaminated bottles. The customer reported burning in her mouth and stomach. She was treated by physician and not seriously injured. <br> <br> Nickel said some other consumers returned the bottles after smelling a foul odor emanating from the juice. <br> <br> The recalled product was only sold to Sam&#39;s Club, the warehouse club of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. The item has already been removed from the shelves. <br> <br> Consumers should return the jugs of orange juice to the Sam&#39;s Club where it was purchased for a refund, Tropicana said. <br> <br> No other Tropicana products or sizes are affected and the product was not sold to other retailers.
