United States Standards for Grades of Orange Juice

The Agricultural Marketing Service is revising the U.S. Standards for Grades of Orange Juice. The update will change the limits for Grade B Brix allowances in Pasteurized Orange Juice to align with the FDA's Standard of Identity. This new rule will be effective starting June 25, 2026.

The update to the grading standards means that orange juice producers must align their products with the new FDA guidelines. This could lead to changes in how orange juice is marketed and sold, ensuring consistency in quality across the industry.
