Summary
FDA just dropped the sugar bar for U.S. pasteurized orange juice — from 10.5 to 10 degrees Brix — to help domestic growers survive climate chaos and cut back on imports. Hurricanes and freezes between 2017 and 2024 wrecked sugar levels in American oranges, forcing juice makers to buy sweeter foreign fruit. The new rule keeps safety and taste intact while boosting local farms — though exact rollout dates and how fast growers can ditch imports remain unclear.
