Packaged apple slices distributed to McDonald's and Burger King in some states are included in the recall, as are some packaged fruit, veggies, salads and sandwiches containing apples distributed to Wawa convenience store and Wegman's grocery chains, as well as various apple and fruit snacks with "Ready Pac" labels and apple salad kits with a "Safeway Farms" label.
The recalled snacks have use-by dates of July 8 through Aug. 20, the company said. People should check their refrigerators for products with those use-by dates, the company said, and it asked retailers to check store shelves and inventories to make sure none of the packages are there.
(I quit eating them after I put a pack of them in the fridge and forgot about them. Three weeks later I opened them up, they weren't brown and they were still edible. The test involved one bite before they were tossed. Made me wonder what they do to them to keep them preserved.)
DewDropInn...the apples were probably irradiated...keeps them "fresh" for a long time...YUK!!!
I checked on their website. It says calcium ascorbate is used.
(For me it's a once-in-a-while treat and the burger itself was probably worse for me than the preservative used. Non-brown, 3-week-old apple slices just startled me.)

I'd not had them until recently, I had a BOGO coupon for Happy Meals so I took BabyGirl to McD's. I was really put off by the "chemically" smell that came out of the bag when I opened it.
Just curious - who buys these packets anyway? Why not just buy whole apples and slice them?
