The FDA has issued draft action levels for lead in ready-to-drink apple juice and other single-strength juices and juice blends to reduce the potential for negative health effects from dietary exposure to lead. The “Action Levels for Lead in Juice: Draft Guidance for Industry” document provides draft action levels of 10 parts per billion for lead in single-strength apple juice and 20 ppb for lead in all other single-strength juice types, including juice blends that contain apple juice.
FDA的临时参考水平（IRL）指导了果汁中铅的作用水平草案，这是衡量铅在粮食对血液铅水平的贡献。FDA估计建立10 ppb的动作水平可能会导致儿童苹果汁的铅含量高达46％。对于所有其他水果和蔬菜果汁，估计建立20 ppb的动作水平会导致19％的暴露于儿童中所有其他果汁的铅。FDA为苹果汁发布了较低的动作水平，因为它是幼儿喝的最常见的果汁。

Issuing the draft guidance for lead in juice is part of the FDA’s broader efforts to reduce exposure to lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium from foods and to advance the goals laid out in its Closer to Zero action plan, initiated inApril 2021.
The FDA is accepting comments on the new draft guidance and will work with manufacturers of these products to encourage the adoption of best practices to lower levels of lead in juice.
