S 1251 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Defending Domestic Orange Juice Production Act of 2025

This bill revises the federal standard for pasteurized orange juice by requiring finished products to contain at least 10.0% by weight of orange juice soluble solids (excluding any added sweeteners). It directly affects orange juice manufacturers and producers who must comply with this updated standard for labeling and sale. The key provision amends existing regulations under the Code of Federal Regulations to set this minimum juice content requirement. The bill does not restrict the Secretary of Health and Human Services from later proposing further regulatory changes to the standard. This is a technical adjustment to product specifications, not a new tax or subsidy.
