Canned Fruit Nectars; Proposal to Revoke the Stayed Standard of Identity

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to revoke the standard of identity for canned fruit nectars. This standard has never gone into effect, having been stayed by the filing of objections. This proposal is based in part on a letter from the organization that petitioned for the nectar standard. This organization now states that the standard is not necessary in view of the FDA regulations that require declaration of the percentage of juice in beverage products that purport to contain juice. The agency tentatively concludes that revocation of the stayed standard will minimize confusion in the labeling of canned fruit nectars and will facilitate the marketing of these foods.
