75% OF APPLE JUICE COMES FROM CHINA AND IT’S FULL OF ARSENIC!

September 26, 2015

China is the last place you’d think of when it comes to the apple juice that you’re probably drinking in the moment – but it’s true: the juice comes from China!

It was not always like that – 20 years ago the U.S.A. had a great apple industry. But the growing Chinese apple production industry lead them to dominating the market in the US now. More than 75% of apple juice in the American market comes from China, if the stats from F&WW are to be believed, but the authorities have recognized a problem there with food (and juice) and are working to implement a new food safety law.

The FDA still claims that the apple juice is safe

The level of arsenic in the apple juice found by F&WW-Paradigm-Empire State tests are higher than the tests conducted by the St. Petersburg Times. The Floridian newspaper found levels of 35 parts per billion.

Mott’s, a highly popular American brand of apple juice, has not commented on these tests or the levels of arsenic found in the juice. The FDA is quiet too, which is funny, considering they warned people about food and drinks before.

China, as the largest producer of apples in the world, is turning them into concentrate and selling it to the U.S.A. Experts say that this is because their apples are very bitter, so that’s why they make the powder concentrate. However, this process is complicated, not to mention dangerous. Have you ever looked at a label on an apple juice? Next time notice this: the apple concentrate is second or third in the list, but it does not show where it comes from.

So it’s really scandalous and disgusting that the US Government, which has in the past boasted about the highest standard for food, has ruined the businesses of apple farmers by importing foreign apple concentrate of suspicious quality. The next time you buy apple juice, make yourself a favor: go with some locally produced apples and make raw juice.
