TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS
CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES (CONTINUED)
PART 146 CANNED FRUIT JUICES--Table of Contents
Subpart B Requirements for Specific Standardized Canned Fruit Juices and
Beverages
Sec. 146.141 Canned orange juice.
(a) Canned orange juice is the food prepared from orange juice as
specified
[[Page 450]]
in Sec. 146.135 or frozen orange juice as specified in Sec. 146.137,
or a combination of both, to which may be added not more than 10 percent
by volume of the unfermented juice obtained from mature oranges of the
species Citrus reticulata or Citrus reticulata hybrids (except that this
limitation shall not apply to the hybrid species described in Sec.
146.135). Seeds (except embryonic seeds and small fragments of seeds
that cannot be separated by good manufacturing practice) are removed.
Orange oil and pulp may be adjusted in accordance with good
manufacturing practice. The adjustment of pulp referred to in this
paragraph does not permit the addition of washed or spent pulp. Liquid
condensate recovered from the deoiling operation may be added back. One
or more of the optional sweetening ingredients named in paragraph (b) of
this section may be added, in a quantity reasonably necessary to raise
the Brix or the Brix-acid ratio to any point within the normal range
usually found in unfermented juice obtained from mature oranges as
specified in Sec. 146.135. The food is sealed in containers and so
processed by heat, either before or after sealing, as to prevent
spoilage. The finished canned orange juice tests not less than 10[deg]
Brix, and the ratio of the Brix hydrometer reading to the grams of
anhydrous citric acid per 100 milliliters of juice is not less than 9 to
1.
(b) The optional sweetening ingredients referred to in paragraph (a)
of this section are sugar, invert sugar, dextrose, dried corn sirup,
dried glucose sirup.
(c) The name of the food is ``Canned orange juice''. All the words
in the name shall appear in the same size, color, and style of type and
on the same color-contrasting background. If the food is not sold under
refrigeration and if it does not purport to be chilled pasteurized
orange juice or frozen pasteurized orange juice, the word ``canned'' may
be omitted from the name.
(d) If one or more of the sweetening ingredients specified in
paragraph (b) of this section are added to the canned orange juice, the
label shall bear the statement ``------ added'', the blank being filled
in with the name or an appropriate combination of the names of the
sweetening ingredients used. However, for the purpose of this section,
the name ``sweetener'' may be used in lieu of the specific name or names
of the sweetening ingredients.
(e) Wherever the name of the food appears on the label so
conspicuously as to be easily seen under customary conditions of
purchase, the statement specified in this section for naming the
optional ingredients used shall immediately and conspicuously precede or
follow the name of the food, without intervening written, printed, or
graphic matter.
(f) Label declaration. Each of the ingredients used in the food
shall be declared on the label as required by the applicable sections of
parts 101 and 130 of this chapter.
