The Defending Domestic Orange Juice Production Act of 2025 increases the minimum concentration of orange juice solids required in pasteurized orange juice products. Specifically, the bill raises the federal standard to require that finished pasteurized orange juice contain at least 10.0 percent by weight of orange juice soluble solids (excluding any added sweeteners), which represents a change to existing federal regulations. The legislation would take effect immediately upon passage and primarily affects domestic orange juice manufacturers and producers who must comply with the new standard. The bill does not establish new funding or appropriations, but it does preserve the Secretary of Health and Human Services' authority to adjust these standards through future regulations if needed.
