0910-AI98 202410 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0910 Food and Drug Administration FDA 0900 Department of Health and Human Services HHS Food Standards of Identity Modernization; Pasteurized Orange Juice

This proposed rule to amend the standard of identity for pasteurized orange juice in 21 CFR 146.140 is in response to a citizen petition submitted on July 22, 2022, by the Florida Citrus Processors Association Inc. and the Florida Citrus Mutual Inc. The proposed rule would reduce the minimum soluble solids requirement for pasteurized orange juice from 10.5° to 10° Brix, exclusive of the solids from any added optional sweetening ingredients. This proposed rule would aim to mitigate the difficulties encountered by manufactures in meeting the minimum Brix level of 10.5°, which are caused by the impact of citrus greening disease (Huanglongbing) and adverse weather conditions.
