Summary
Raises the minimum orange juice solids to defend domestic producers.

Higher orange juice content rule for makers
If enacted, this bill would require finished pasteurized orange juice to contain at least 10.0% orange juice soluble solids by weight. Do not count solids from any added optional sweeteners when measuring. If you make or sell pasteurized orange juice, you would need to change formulations and testing to comply effective on the date of enactment. The bill would preserve the HHS Secretary's authority to amend the standard later by regulation. Consumers could see changes in product makeup or availability.
