Lead concentrations allowed in children's fruit juices are to be slashed to up to a fifth of currently permitted levels, under plans from the Food and Drug Administration.
In draft guidance revealed this week, the agency said apple juice should not contain more than 10 parts per billion (ppb) of the heavy metal while orange juice and others should be below 20 ppb.
More than half of popular fruit juices already contain virtually no lead, testing shows, with barely a handful having more than 5 ppb. They are currently allowed to contain up to 50 ppb.
