Pepsi orange juice trap "sterilization door" does not indicate the origin of orange juice

Pepsi orange juice traces trace traces of carbendazim international orange juice futures fluctuates for the past 20 years. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on Wednesday that it will temporarily suspend the import of orange juice and juice containing dangerous concentrations of bactericide (carbendazim). The Pepsi headquarters, one of the orange juice manufacturers, issued a statement on Saturday that it is conducting additional tests on fruit juices.

Earlier, Coca-Cola took the lead in reporting the incident to the U.S. authorities when it discovered that a fungicide sprayed by Brazilian growers on fruit trees had not been registered in the United States. From this week, the FDA will announce the sampling results of the orange juice imported into the United States one after another. The news will concern the price of the international orange juice futures.

The reporter visited a number of supermarkets yesterday and was unaware of the fact that the person responsible for many supermarkets was unaware.

The PepsiCo headquarters statement stated that the latest test results on Tropicana showed that the carbendazim detected from imported Brazilian orange juice was lower than the FDA-produced concentration causing the risk. Pepsi said that it will continue testing and take the matter seriously.

On Friday, the United States began to resume importing orange juice from abroad. Since January 4, the FDA has begun testing carbendazim on orange juice from countries around the world. At present, the FDA's detection accuracy is approximately 10 parts per billion (or 10ppb), and any imports of orange carbendazim beyond this concentration will be rejected.

Many domestic sources of non-standard FDA notifications on the official website, the United States will cover the orange juice powder, ready-to-drink orange juice and concentrated orange juice.

Below 10 ppb, the product can be sold in the United States. If the orange juice from the same manufacturer is qualified after sampling all three batches of the product, the FDA will no longer take a random inspection. As of January 12, the FDA said it had sampled 31 batches. Of these, 28 batches were still waiting for the test results, and 3 batches of orange juice were in compliance with US regulations.

The industry is waiting for the FDA to announce the results of these 28 batches this week. This turmoil caused the international orange juice futures to ride a roller coaster last week, fluctuating for 20 years. Last Tuesday, due to concerns about restrictions on imports, orange juice futures prices hit a record high of $2.07 per pound, and prices fell back to $1.8460 last Friday.

Seen at the PARKnSHOP supermarket last night, orange juice was placed in the spotlight as a “new year” for promotion, and “two music” were sent out to promote promoters. For example, the Coca-Cola Miso juice (420ml) 4 bottles price is 9.9 yuan, and also sent a bottle of Sprite; Pepsi-Cola pure orange juice (1L) is 9.8 yuan, to send the bottle of pure fruit music (420ml) and a large bottle of Pepsi. In addition, Dole, Unification, Mr. Juice, and Want Want all sell orange juice, which has also attracted many people to purchase.

A lot of orange juice is imported from afar. In this good and many, the reporter saw the "JANS" orange juice imported from Indonesia, 1L is priced at 17.5 yuan, there are also Harvey orange juice from Australia, 1L price reached 22.9 yuan. However, the reporter did not see the brand imported from Brazil.

It is worth noting that the reporter found that almost no bottled orange juice in the country listed the origin of its orange juice, and only wrote its factory address.

EU, Japan and China have imported orange juice from Brazil. Coca-Cola told this newspaper that this was done because it concerns every company that uses orange juice from Brazil to produce products in the United States.

Coca-Cola also said that orange juice containing very tiny amounts of the fungicide will not cause health and safety problems. In addition, the orange juice that we use in China is safe and reliable, in line with the country's strict raw material quality standards. The reporter learned that according to Chinese standards ("Maximum Residue Limits for Carbendazim in Foods"), the maximum residue limit of citrus is 5mg/kg or 5000ppb, and this standard is obviously lower than the above standards for detection in the United States.

The data shows that PepsiCo Guangzhou Co., Ltd. has imported frozen concentrated orange juice from Brazil, and Huiyuan also imports frozen concentrated orange juice from Brazil, Israel and the United States. The Xinhua News Agency reported that in 2011, Brazil exported orange juice (66° sugar content) to China to 5.3952 million tons, accounting for 4.67% of the total export share. In addition, the top three Brazilian orange juice importing countries (regions) are the European Union (68.04%), the United States (14.51%), and Japan (6.10%).

Xinhua News Agency stated earlier that carbendazim has been used in Brazil for more than 20 years and is mainly used for combating plant black spot. It is not considered harmful in Brazil. In the United States, carbendazim is limited to non-food products such as pigments, textiles, or decorative species.
