In April 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued "Action Levels of Lead in Fruit Juices:  Draft Industry Guidance” based on a review of lead levels in fruit juice samples collected after FDA established a standard of 50ug/L for fruit juice in 2004, FDA intends to establish a lead limit of 10ug/L for apple juice in accordance with 21CFR109.6, taking the international reference standard for lead for children is 3 ug/L into account.  It is proposed to set the lead limit standard for a single dose of other raw juice (including mixed juice containing apple juice) at 20ug/L.  The limit of lead in fruit juice: An industry Guide will replace the limit of 50ug/L of lead in fruit juice specified in the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP Guide for Fruit Juice).  The contents of the industry guide have no legal force and do not bind the public in any way except as specifically incorporated into contracts;  FDA guidance documents including this guidance should be considered recommendations only unless specific regulatory or statutory requirements are cited;  Using the word "should" in FDA guidelines means suggesting or recommending something, but not necessarily.
