TYPE OF
ALERT:    Detention Without Physical Examination (DWPE)

          (Note: This import alert represents the Agency's current guidance to
          FDA field personnel regarding the manufacturer(s) and/or products(s)
          at issue. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any
          person, and does not operate to bind FDA or the public).

PRODUCT:       ***Fruit Juices and Fruit Juice Concentrates***

PRODUCT
CODE:               ***See Attachment***

OASIS CHARGE
CODE:               ***POISONOUS***

PAF:           MET

PAC:           04019A


COUNTRY:       ***See Attachment***

MANUFACTURER/
SHIPPER:       See Attachment A

CHARGE:        "The article is subject to refusal of admission to Section
               801(a)(3) in that it appears to contain a poisonous or
               deleterious substance, which may render it injurious to health
               [Adulteration, Section 402(a)(1)]."
               ***OASIS CHARGE CODE: POISONOUS***

RECOMMENDING
OFFICE:        SAN-DO (HFR-PA140)
               FLA-DO (HFR-SE240)
               ***SEA-DO (HFR-PA340)***

REASON FOR
ALERT:         In 2002, SAN-DO analyzed a shipment of grape juice concentrate
               and found elevated levels of lead.  The average level of lead
               found in the concentrate was 0.076mg/l.  The calculated
               exposure to lead from a single 8 oz. serving prepared from
               this concentrate would be more than three times the
               Provisional Total Tolerable Intake of Lead for children.

               ***In 2008, SEA-DO analyzed a shipment consisting of two lots
               of pear juice concentrate and found elevated levels of
               inorganic arsenic.  The average levels of inorganic arsenic
               calculated in reconstituted juice from the concentrate were 28
               ng/g and 32 ng/g, respectively.  Inorganic arsenic is a toxic
               substance and known human carcinogen.  Oral exposure to
               inorganic arsenic can cause adverse health effects in many
               organs.  These effects are dependent on dose and duration of
               exposure.***

GUIDANCE: ***Districts may detain without physical examination fruit juices
          and fruit juice concentrates from specified fruits from the firm(s)
          listed on Attachment A of this alert.

          When Districts collect samples of either a fruit juice or fruit
          juice concentrate that is found to be violative for heavy metals
          through laboratory analyses, a recommendation for detention without
          physical examination and background information, including
          analytical worksheets, should be forwarded to DIOP, HFC-171.  DIOP
          will coordinate with CFSAN for concurrence.

          Surveillance of heavy metal levels in fruit juices and fruit juice
          concentrates from all countries is warranted.

          For questions or issues concerning science, science policy, sample
          collection, analysis, preparation, or analytical methodology,
          contact the Division of Field Science at (301)827-7605.

          For guidance on removal from detention without physical examination,
          refer to the Regulatory Procedures Manual, Chapter 9, "Detention
          Without Physical Examination (DWPE)".***
