Короткий зміст

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a draft compliance policy guide (CPG) entitled "Apple Juice, Apple Juice Concentrates, and Apple Juice Products--Adulteration with Patulin". This document is intended to make FDA offices and industry aware of FDA's guidance for enforcement concerning apple juice, apple juice concentrates, and apple juice products that contain patulin, a toxic substance produced by molds that may grow on apples, and that has been found to occur at high levels in some apple juice products offered for sale or import in the United States. The agency is also announcing the availability of a document entitled "Patulin in Apple Juice, Apple Juice Concentrates, and Apple Juice Products" (the draft supporting document).
