Guidance to industry on action levels for ready to drink juice
USA
Apr 28, 2022
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued draft guidance to industry providing action levels for lead in single-strength (ready to drink) apple juice and in other single-strength juices and juice blends. These draft action levels support the agency’s broader effort to reduce exposure to arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury from foods and advance our goals in the Closer to Zero action plan. We believe that by taking a whole of government approach through our collaboration with federal partners, along with engagement with other stakeholders, our regulatory actions will have a lasting impact in reducing exposure to toxic elements in babies and young children.
