The U.S Food and Drug Administration for the first time on Friday reported finding at least 10 parts per billion of the fungicide carbendazim in 11 shipments of orange juice from other countries. FDA will refuse import shipments containing carbendazim at those levels. The FDA has been testing imported OJ shipments for carbendazim since the fungicide was first reported in orange juice in the U.S. several weeks ago. Carbendazim may not be applied to orange groves in the United States, but is legal for use on orange trees in Brazil. See the FDA’s full report here.
