The Food and Drug Administration updated its November 2010 FAQ on "Low Levels of Lead in Some Juice Products" on December 6, 2010, noting that it tests food products such as fruit juice and canned fruit products for lead on a regular basis as part of its surveillance activities to monitor the safety of the U.S. food supply. In July 2010, FDA completed its most recent check of amounts of lead in some commercial juice and food products that contain fruit, finding that none of the products contained lead in an amount that would pose an unacceptable risk to health. FDA had tested samples of apple juice, grape juice, peach slices, pears, mixed fruit and fruit cocktail.
