Tag: Apple juice safety

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a refrigerator can only keep food at a safe temperature for up to four hours during a power outage. So, is apple juice safe after a power outage, or is it better to err on the side of caution and pour it down the drain?

According to a 2019 Consumer Reports study, nearly half of the 45 fruit juices tested contained concerning levels of heavy metals, including lead. This discovery has led many to question, 'Does all apple juice have lead in it?' The answer is more nuanced than a simple yes or no, as the presence of lead can occur at trace, often harmless, levels due to environmental factors, but some products have shown elevated amounts.
