Citrus Australia Calls for Increased Testing of Imported Juice
13-Jan-2012
Citrus Australia has called for the Australian Government to increase testing procedures on imported citrus juice, and consumers to look for safe, branded local products in the wake of a chemical residue scare in the U.S.
“The fungicide, called Carbendazim, which was identified in some imported fruit juices in the U.S. was withdrawn from use in the Australian citrus industry over two years ago,” said Judith Damiani, CEO of Citrus Australia.
