After the episode aired, the FDA indicated it is continuing to research the levels of arsenic in fruit juices and other foods, and may implement limits for fruit juices in the future. The limits only apply to arsenic levels for drinking water there are no legal limits for arsenic in fruit juices. When counting only inorganic arsenic, one of the 80 apple juice samples tested slightly exceeded 10-parts-per-billion limit, at 10.48 ppb. Results showed that 6% (5 out of 80) of the samples tested by Consumer Reports exceeded the 10-parts-per-billion (ppb) federal limit for arsenic in drinking water. Unlike the tests done by Oz, Consumer Reports tested for both organic and inorganic types of arsenic. Ĭonsumer Reports conducted similar tests on samples of apple and grape juices around the same time. The FDA said "there is currently no evidence to suggest a public health risk", and criticized the emphasis on measurements of total arsenic without distinguishing between harmless organic arsenic compounds and toxic inorganic arsenic compounds that pose differing levels of health risk. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows in drinking water. Oz hired an independent toxicology laboratory, EMSL, and found arsenic levels in some samples to be above the limit the U.S. In September 2011, Oz drew criticism for an episode on the alleged dangers of arsenic in apple juice.
