Bill > HR933

This bill, known as the "Defending Domestic Orange Juice Production Act of 2025," modifies the existing federal standard for pasteurized orange juice by establishing a minimum requirement of 10.0 percent by weight of orange juice soluble solids, excluding any added sweetening ingredients. This means that commercially produced orange juice must now contain at least 10% soluble solids (which typically refers to the sugars, acids, and other dissolved compounds in the juice) to meet the official standard. The bill explicitly states that this change takes effect immediately upon enactment and does not limit the Secretary of Health and Human Services' ability to further modify orange juice regulations in the future. By setting a specific minimum standard for soluble solids, the bill aims to ensure a consistent quality and concentration of orange juice for consumers and potentially support domestic orange juice production.
