NFPA had urged FDA to require that all juices be pasteurized or receive an equivalent treatment to ensure their safety. We are pleased that FDA did not exempt smaller companies from these regulations, but instead established a longer compliance period for these companies. Consumers need assurance that all the juices they buy are safe, whether they come from large or small companies. Frozen concentrated juices also are produced from ingredients that have been heat-processed. And many refrigerated juices also have been pasteurized.
Consumers can check with the retailer or manufacturer if they have questions.
