Canned Fruit Juice Beneficial or Deadly

FDA issues new guidelines for canned fruit juices

Nowadays, in an effort to keep cold drinks away from children, we often give fruit juice and tetra pack or plastic bottle fruit juice to children. But is canned fruit juice safe for you or your kids? After the viral video of Bournvita, there has been an increase in caution among parents about sugar and added sugar. But there is a need to pay attention to the amount of fruit in fruit juice. And how much flavor and food color is there in fruit juice should also be considered.

Recently, on June 2, the US Food Safety Agency FDA has issued new rules regarding the amount of arsenic in apple juice. Although these rules were made 10 years ago. But in the world’s most powerful democracy, due to the pressure of capitalism and capitalist people, these rules have not been issued till now. When this is the condition of a country like America, it cannot even be imagined to issue such rules in the context of India. .
In the guidelines issued by the FDA, it has been clarified that the amount of inorganic arsenic in apple juice and other types of fruit juice should be reduced from 10 ppb (particles per billion) to 3 to 5 ppb. Inorganic arsenic of 10 ppb or more will be considered adulterant and unfit for human consumption.
Consumer reports over the years have found cadmium, inorganic arsenic and lead in fruit juices. Which probably come into the fruit juice during the use of pesticides and in the process of extracting juice plant juice and during the filtering aid. And they can be reduced.
Inorganic arsenic causes problems in the development of small children and has a bad effect on their brain and nervous system. Also, consumption of canned fruit juices by pregnant women can have negative effects on the brain development and nervous system of the unborn child.

The FDA has taken this rule despite heavy opposition from fruit juice companies and corporates.
Let alone the implementation of such rules in India, such rules are not even discussed in public. Almost everyone’s thinking is like “this is what happens nowadays, where to pay attention”.
If the people themselves do not want to talk about food security in India, then politics and politicians also stay away from it. People busy with useless issues like religion, caste and ideology have left it open to the big corporate houses to do whatever they want with our food and drink. The lives of your loved ones are always irresponsible. Remember, only you have to understand your pain.
