FDA Juice HACCP — 50 ppb Lead Guidance Context for Juice

Overview

FDA’s Juice HACCP guidance recommends controls to ensure lead levels in ready-to-drink fruit juices and fruit nectars do not exceed 50 ppb when lead is a hazard reasonably likely to occur. HMI treats this as current FDA juice lead context, not as an HMTc standard.

The FDA issued draft lead-in-juice action levels in 2022 that would set 10 ppb for apple juice and 20 ppb for other single-strength juices and blends. Those draft values are not for implementation and are tracked separately in FDA 2022 Draft — Lead Action Levels for Juice.
