Concern Over Chemicals in Apple Juice

A study by the Empire State Consumer Project, a partner to the Food and Water Watch Organization, has shown an alarming high level of arsenic and heavy metals in apple juice, especially apple juice imported from China. The tests commissioned by the project revealed levels of arsenic contamination in one sample that was five times higher than what the Environmental Protection Agency allows in drinking water.

The Food and Drug Administration does not have standards for arsenic levels in juices. Consumer groups have called on the FDA to hold fruit juices to the same standards as drinking water and to more closely monitor imports from countries like China that have had serious safety issues.
