Food Standards of Identity Modernization; Pasteurized Orange Juice
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is issuing a final rule to amend the standard of identity for pasteurized orange juice by lowering the minimum orange juice soluble solids content from 10.5[deg] to 10[deg] Brix and permitting up to 15 percent Citrus reticulata juice or Citrus reticulata hybrid juice, by volume. This final rule modernizes the pasteurized orange juice standard. This action responds to two citizen petitions: one submitted by the Florida Citrus Processors Association Inc. and the Florida Citrus Mutual Inc., and another submitted by the Florida Department of Citrus, the Florida Citrus Mutual, and the Juice Products Association.
