Strict regulatory control over commercial fruit juice production will be ensured, said Hedayat Hosseini, general director of food and cosmetic products at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). “We are planning to gradually reduce the amount of added sugar and increase the amount of fruit content,” he said, IRNA reported. However, this will take place gradually over two years so that the industry will also be able to coordinate with the FDA’s corrective programs, he added.
