## Resource

Florida’s citrus industry, battered for two decades by diseases and climate challenges, may be getting a lifeline thanks to a new FDA rule lowering the sugar threshold for pasteurized orange juice — from 10.5% to 10% Brix. This change, spurred by a 2022 petition and bipartisan Florida legislation, aims to help local growers compete by reducing reliance on overseas imports and saving the industry $50 million annually. Officials assure consumers the taste and nutrition won’t change, but the broader struggle continues — even as this policy shift unfolds, longtime operations like Riverfont Packing Co. are still closing their doors, highlighting how deep the industry’s challenges run.
