IA #20-05, 2/19/09, IMPORT ALERT #20-05, "DETENTION WITHOUT PHYSICAL EXAMINATION AND SURVEILLANCE OF ***FRUIT JUICES AND FRUIT JUICE CONCENTRATES DUE TO HEAVY METAL CONTAMINATION"*** ***The revision of this Import Alert dated 2/18/2009 changes the title, expands the products of interest to include all types of fruit juice and fruit juice concentrates, and expands the problem area to include all heavy metals.*** 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)".*** PRIORITIZATION GUIDANCE: I FOI: No purging required KEYWORDS: Lead, inorganic arsenic, heavy metals, fruit juice, fruit juice concentrate ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE: February 13, 2002 ORIGINAL PREPARED BY: Ted Poplawski, DIOP REVISED BY: Patrick Bowen, DIOP, 301-594-3845 Standra Purnell, CFSAN, 301-436-1613 DATE LOADED INTO FIARS: February 19, 2009 ATTACHMENT A TO IMPORT ALERT #20-05 2/18/2009 Firms and products recommended for Detention Without Physical Examination FIRM PRODUCT/PRODUCT CODE Problem ARGENTINA (AR) Buenaventura O.
