When the Dr. Oz Show gave the FDA information suggesting that apple juice samples it had
tested showed results as high as 36 parts per billion (ppb) of total arsenic, the FDA obtained
its own samples of apple juice—including a sample of the same lot of apple juice purportedly
containing 36 ppb—for analysis. The FDA’s test results do not support the findings of the Dr.
Oz Show, and, in fact, are significantly less (2 to 6 ppb) than the levels found by the television
program’s analysis. Moreover, the vast majority of apple juice samples tested by the FDA
over that past 20 years show that apple juice typically contains less than 10 ppb total arsenic.
FDA states that it would be irresponsible and misleading to suggest that apple juice contains
unsafe amounts of arsenic based on tests for total arsenic. [FDA Letters to Dr. Oz Show,
