Summary
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is correcting the proposed rule entitled "Food Standards of Identity Modernization; Pasteurized Orange Juice; Proposed Rule" (90 FR 37817, August 6, 2025). In the proposed rule, FDA proposed to amend the standard of identity (SOI) for pasteurized orange juice (POJ) by lowering the minimum orange juice soluble solids content from 10.5[deg] to 10[deg] Brix.
