(WTVM)- You may want to check your fridge: Winn-Dixie is recalling all 64 fluid ounce Winn-Dixie Organic 100% Apple Juices.

The product is being recalled because it may have levels of "patulin" that exceeds FDA limits.

Patulin is a by-product of molds that grow in fruits and vegetables.

The possibility of serious health issues resulting from the mold is very remote but the product is still subject to voluntary recall.
