Annual General Report 

2011 

By Mr Donald SPORN 

President of the International Federation of Fruit Juice Producers 

The purpose of this Annual General Report is similar to ones that are found in annual reports 

of corporations and non-profit organizations around the world. The “Presidents Report” is 

typically a quick review of the general health of the organization and its prospects for the 

future. Looking back and looking ahead is a continual requirement to ensure the good health 

of IFU. You will note as you read the reports of the Treasurer, Secretary-General and 

Commission Chairs that the general health of IFU is good! 

The 63 rd IFU Annual Meeting held in Bonita Beach, Florida in June 2011 was a productive 

and enjoyable meeting. The meeting was held jointly with meetings of the Florida Citrus 

Processors Association (FCPA), Florida Citrus Mutual (FCM) and the Technical Committee 

for Juice and Juice Products (TCJJP) allowing attendees the opportunity to interact with 

members of those allied associations who, like IFU, are committed to providing quality juice 

products to consumers. The technical tour to the University of Florida Citrus Research 

Center offered the opportunity to visit experimental groves to see and hear first-hand the 

research that is being done to eradicate HLB (citrus greening disease). Later in the day the 

group toured Southern Gardens Citrus to observe a modern processing plant for NFC juice. 

Our thanks go to the FCPA and Kristen Gunter for organizing and hosting this meeting. 

The IFU Workshop in October 2011 (The increasing consumption of vegetable juices 

worldwide - Juice as an ingredient for other products) organized by Dr. Helmut Dietrich in 

conjunction with CIBUSTEC was a success with speakers presenting a multitude of technical 

subjects and opportunities relative to fruit and vegetable juice. It also afforded the Scientific & 

Technical Commission an opportunity to have a mid-year meeting. Attendees had the 

opportunity to visit the CIBUSTEC exhibition and Elisabetta Romeo-Vareille and I had the 

occasion to meet with the President and Secretary-General of the World Processing Tomato 

Council (WPTC) to explore common areas of interest. 

Earlier in October I had the opportunity, at the invitation of Foodnews, to speak at their World 

Juice Conference in Madrid. As part of broadening the exposure of IFU I look forward to 

attending a number of events in 2012. 

Although we experienced the loss of two members in 2011, we welcomed the following new 

members to IFU: 

Independent Members 

Associated Members 

Asahi Soft Drinks Co. Ltd. (Japan) Newbell (Uruguay) 

Citricos Ex SA de CU (Mexico) SSICA (Italy) 

Montecarlofruit (Monte Carlo) 

You will see later on in this report that various IFU members attended a number of CODEX 

meetings dealing with important issues relating to the fruit juice industry. The NGO status 


May 2012

that IFU holds continues to be an important function of IFU and I thank those members who 

gave of their time and talents to attend these important meetings. 

In June 2011, Mr. Bruno Jud completed a three year term as IFU President. During his term 

Bruno was instrumental in leading several significant changes that have strengthened IFU 

among its members and within the international community and I would like to take this 

opportunity to thank Bruno for his contributions to IFU and I look forward to his continued 

participation as a member of the Executive Committee. 

The heart, soul and strength of IFU is our Secretary-General, Elisabetta Romeo-Vareille, who 

continues to not only handle the day to day affairs of the Federation, but is always available 

and willing to take on any additional tasks to benefit IFU and does so in an efficient, 

professional manner. 

Plans for the upcoming Vaccinium 2012 Symposium June 17 -21, 2012 and the IFU internal 

meetings to be held June 19 & 20 in Maastricht, Netherlands are pretty well completed and I 

look forward to seeing you there.

Annual Administrative Report 


By Mrs Elisabetta ROMEO-VAREILLE 

Secretary-General of the International Federation of Fruit Juice 

Producers 

The year 2011 was one of intense activity in the continuation of work on IFU major areas of 

focus such as following up regulations established by Codex Alimentarius and assisting its 

members on any scientific and technical issues that are important to the global juice industry. 

I. IFU internal issues 

1) General Assembly of Delegates and Commissions meetings 14-15 June 2011 

Bonita Springs, Florida (USA) 

The 63 rd annual meeting of the IFU was hosted by the Florida Citrus Processors 

Association (FCPA) 14-15 June 2011 at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & 

Spa located in Bonita Springs, Florida (USA). 

This meeting was a great opportunity to create synergies with other industry 

representatives as the Technical Committee on Juice and Juice Products (TCJJP), 

Florida Citrus Processors Association (FCPA), Florida Citrus Mutual (FCM) and the 

Florida Department of Citrus were also meeting at the same venue. 

My sincere thanks go to Kristen GUNTER for her co-operation and assistance in the 

organisation of this IFU event. 

2) IFU new office 

The issue of office move was discussed at multiples occasions because of the need 

of having more office space for IFU secretariat. During the last years, Secretary- 

General investigated the opportunity to find some office space to share with another 

international association. Several requisites made the task difficult. It was necessary 

not only to have the use of a convenient office room for the Secretary-General but 

also of a meeting room for holding meetings of IFU Commissions. The office should 

be situated in a convenient place, easily accessible from international airports and 

railway stations. And, last but not least, the global cost of the move shouldn’t be 

significantly higher than before. A convenient place at 14, rue de Turbigo 

(headquarter of the Confederation of the European Yeast Producers- COFALEC) was 

visited by IFU President and Treasurer on 6 th October 2011. This office is located in 

the very heart of Paris (1 st district). It is connected with the subway (line 4) directly to 

Gare de l’Est (Germany) and Gare du Nord (Belgium, Germany and United Kingdom) 

and by RER B (fast local train) to both Parisian airports (Orly and Roissy). Although 

the rental rate is substantially the same as the previous one, there is a net savings at 

the new location when the total package is considered. The Executive Committee 

unanimously agreed at its meeting on 19 th October 2011 in Parma on the office move, 

which took place on 15 th February 2012. All members were informed of the change. 

On the basis of article 3 of IFU by-laws, the decision taken by the Executive 

Committee of transferring the registered seat is subject to ratification by the General 

Assembly of Delegates.

The new contact’ details of IFU headquarter are the following ones: 

International Federation of Fruit Juice Producers 

Féderation Internationale des Producteurs de Jus de Fruits 

Internationale Fruchtsaft-Union 

IFU 

14, rue de Turbigo 75001 PARIS France 

Phone-Fax: +33 1 47 42 29 28 

E-mail address (ifu@ifu fruit juice.com) remains the same 

3) IFU new accountant 

The IFU office move made it necessary to find a new accountant, as IFU accounts were 

kept by a member of UNIJUS staff. The chartered accountant, Mr Guillaume MAILLARD, 

who is also in charge of the accounts of the Confederation of the European Yeast 

Producers- COFALEC, was chosen because of his knowledge of associations’ 

accountancy. He has already had a first meeting with Mr Bernd OSPELT, Accounts 

Auditor, at IFU new office on 20 th April 2012. 

4) IFU newsletter 

An effort was made to provide IFU members with a maximum of information in a 

minimum of space. IFU newsletter is now forwarded four times a year. It informs IFU 

members on internal IFU issues and IFU initiatives as well as on the activities of national 

associations or individual members. It provides information on national or international 

issues or important events for the worldwide juice industry. It also delivers statistics and 

economic information. 

5) Sale of methods of analysis and microbiological methods: 

The total amount of revenues from sales of IFU methods for 2011 was €19 955. 

6) Membership: 

a) Leaving members 

The following companies withdrew from IFU in the course of 2011: 

Carrière GmbH (Germany) – Best s.r.l. (Italy). 

In accordance with article 7§ 3 of the Articles of Association a letter jointly 

signed by President and Treasurer was sent to 2011 debtors mentioning that 

payment of the subscription fee must be received within one month (deadline 

26 th May 2012) from the receipt of the letter. 

The General Assembly of Delegates will have to ratify the exclusion at its 

meeting on 20 th June 2012 in Maastricht.

) New members 

In calendar year 2011, five new members applied for membership and were all 

officially elected by the General Assembly of Delegates on 15 th June 2011 in 

Bonita Springs, Florida (USA): 

Individual members category 

Asahi Soft Drinks Co. Ltd. (Japan) 

Citricos Ex SA de CU (Mexico) 

Montecarlofruit (Montecarlo) 

Associated members 

Newbell (Uruguay) 

SSICA (Italy) 

c) Compilation of potential new members 

At the request of Public Relations and Membership Commission (PRMC) IFU 

Secretary General compiled a list of 60 potential members grouped by 

geographical areas with contact details. The “Regional Champions” should 

contact the companies/ associations of their geographical area. 

7) IFU accounting position on 31 st December 2011 following audit 

Messrs OSPELT and MONCHOVET inspected IFU accounts for the calendar year 2011 on 

20 th March 2012 in IFU new office in Paris. On the basis of this checking, IFU accounts show 

a positive result of € 20 218.38. 

II. Defence of the worldwide juice industry and promotion of its products 

1) Participation to Codex sessions : 

The IFU paid a special attention in 2011 to the discussions of CODEX concerning new 

additives to fruit and vegetable juices and their concentrates and nectars. Internal surveys 

were implemented concerning the change of canned pineapple standard (should the use of 

juices other than pineapple juice be allowed) and the addition of stevia to juices and nectars, 

so that IFU was able to make a clear position on these two important topics. A letter of 

February 2011 was signed by former president Bruno JUD to inform the Codex committee 

on food additives on IFU position regarding the use of stevia: the IFU supports the addition 

of stevia to nectars and is opposed to its addition to juices. 

The IFU actively participated in the following Codex Committees: 

� Codex Committee on Food Additives (CCFA) 43 rd session 14-18 March 2011 Xiamen, 

China (Hany FARAG) 

� Codex Committee on Food Labeling (CCFL) 39 th session 9 -13 May 2011 Québec 

City, Canada (Jan HERMANS) 


May 2012

� Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR) 43 rd session of the Codex 

Committee on Pesticide Residues 4-9 April 2011 Beijing, China (Dr David 

HAMMOND) 

� Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) 34 th session 4-9 July 2011 Geneva, 

Switzerland (Paul ZWIKER) 

The IFU also monitored the following Codex Committee in the course of the year 2011: 

� Codex Committee on Methods of Analysis and Sampling 32 nd session 7-11 March 

2011 Budapest, Hungary (Dr David HAMMOND) 

� Codex Committee on Contaminants in Foods (CCCF) 5 th session 21-25 March 2011 

The Hague, The Netherlands 

An extensive report on the outcomes of the above mentioned Codex sessions can be found 

in the report on the activities of the Commission for Legislation by Dr Hany FARAG. 

2) Letter to the European Commission 

The IFU sent a letter to the European Commission asking its support to oppose the 

proposals from the eWG of the Codex Committee on Food Additives (CCFA) (CX/FA 

12/44/9-Add. 1) as well as the respective comments (CX/FA 12/44/99-Add. 2) to replace the 

individual additives for the fruit and vegetable juices and nectars in the categories 14.1.2.1 – 

14.1.3.4 of the GSFA by the functional classes of acidity regulators and 

thickeners/stabilizers. 

3) Finalisation of the IFU nutrition policy paper 

After a phone conference held on 14 th February 2011, the IFU nutrition paper was finalised 

by the Scientific and Technical Commission under the leadership of Professor HELMUT 

DIETRICH who also wrote an “easy-to-understand version” based on a draft prepared by Dr 

CANCALON. This paper contains essentially all aspects of “fruit juice and health” based on a 

thorough literature survey and insists that there is no link of fruit juices to obesity. It is 

available for downloading from the home page of IFU website. This document is an important 

communication tool to present to public officials and/or health professionals working for 

health institutions regarding the benefits of fruit juices for healthy life. It may also be used by 

companies for their own publicity. 

4) Review on carbendazim in orange juice 

At the end of 2011 the US Food and Drug Administration was notified by a US company that 

it had detected very low levels of carbendazim in their and their competitors finished products 

and also in orange juice concentrate from Brazil. In the light of this, the US authorities 

imposed import restrictions in early January 2012 and started a sampling program for orange 

juice/orange juice concentrate imports. This meant that all incoming raw materials would be 

checked for carbendazim prior to release or rejection at the “border” by the Customs Agency. 

The carbendazim controversy spread beyond the USA to other parts of the world with 

various governments either investigating the future use of the pesticide or affirming 

prohibition of the pesticide as is the case in some countries. This issue has had a 


May 2012

tremendous impact on the price of orange juice futures and on the availability of supply 

particularly in the USA. 

A review on the issue of carbendazim was circulated within IFU membership and is also 

available for downloading from the home page of IFU website. We are very grateful to Dr 

HAMMOND for having prepared such a useful document. 

5) IFU Innovations award 

The IFU decided at its 63 rd annual meeting held 14-15 June 2011 at Bonita Spring, Florida to 

implement an “IFU Innovations Award”, in order to promote innovative ideas in the field of 

fruit juice technology and fruit juice research. A document describing the organisation of IFU 

Innovations Award was realised and a selection panel was composed of eminent specialists 

recognised at international level. The first award was supposed to be organised in June 

2012. Only three applicants sent their application, and none of them fulfilled the scientific 

prerequisites mentioned in the invitation of the IFU. So, after consultation of the Executive 

Committee, it was decided not to organise the “IFU Innovations Award” in 2012. All 

submissions were returned to candidates for correction to comply with award rules. Once resubmitted 

correctly, they can be held over for a future award which might be organised in 

2013, provided there are a sufficient number of candidates. It we want this initiative to be a 

success, it is important that all members disseminate the information regarding the IFU 

Innovations Award within their professional network among all parties who might be 

interested in participating. 

6) World Juice Day 

Ebru AKDAĞ, Secretary-General of MEYED (Turkish Juice association) was appointed as 

IFU “World Juice Day Ambassador” to assist members in establishing a World Juice Day in 

their respective countries. She made presentations at the IFU annual meeting held in Florida 

last June for the benefit of the US Juice Products Association, at the World Juice conference 

in October 2011 in Madrid, and travelled to Australia and New Zealand at the request of 

national associations. As a reinforcement of these efforts, Secretary-General of IFU has met 

at the FAO headquarter in Rome with representatives of the United Nations suborganisations 

FAO and WHO, which can bring worldwide attention to this initiative if they 

agree to endorse it. 

7) Partnerships with other international organisations 

� Partnership with International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS) 

IFU and ISHS started a close co-operation in the preparation of the scientific 

programme of the “10 th International symposium on Vaccinium and other Superfruits” 

to be held June 17-22, 2012 Maastricht, Province of Limburg, The Netherlands. 

� Partnership with World Processing Tomato Council (WPTC) 

President and Secretary-General of IFU had the occasion to meet with the President 

and Secretary General of the World Tomato Council during Cibustec fair in Parma in 

order to find out possible co-operation actions between the two organizations in terms 

of exchange of information on the topic of tomato juice.

III. Forthcoming IFU events 

� 2012 IFU event 

The “10 th International symposium on Vaccinium and other Superfruits” is a 

joint ISHS-IFU event which will take place at “MECC Maastricht” June 17-22, 

2012 Maastricht, Province of Limburg, The Netherlands. The Symposium will 

cover a 4-day program: 1 day of site visits to allow participants to experience 

and enjoy the local harvesting and productions scenes and 3 days of scientific 

and business presentations, discussions in the field of horticulture, health 

aspects, business and technology and trade exposition. 

The IFU annual Assembly of Delegates and Commissions meetings will take 

place 19-20 June 2012 at Maastricht University in conjunction with the “10 th 

International Symposium on Vaccinium and other Superfruits”. 

� 2013 IFU event 

At the Executive Committee meeting held on 19 th October 2011 in Parma, the 

decision was taken to organize the 2013 IFU annual meetings combined with 

an IFU Workshop in June 2013 in Russia at the kind invitation of the Russian 

Union of Juice Producers (RSPS). 

The following possible venues were suggested by Natalia IVANOVA, 

President of the Russian Union of Juice Producers at the meeting with the 

Secretary-General of IFU on 29 th February 2012 in St Petersburg, Russia: 

� Sochi, a city in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, situated just north of Russia’s 

border with Abkhazia on the Black Sea coast near the Caucasus 

Mountains. Sochi will host the XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI 

Paralympic Winter Games in 2014. 

� Kazan, the capital and largest city of Tatarstan. It lies at the confluence 

of the Volga and Kazanka rivers in European Russia, 720 kilometers 

East of Moscow. 

� Nizhniy Novgorod is situated in the centre of East European valley 

where Oka river joins with Volga. It is 400 km far away from Moscow. 

The final decision regarding venue and timing of the 2013 IFU event will be 

taken during the IFU internal meetings to be held 19-20 June 2012 in 

Maastricht and communicated in the July issue of IFU News (Issue 29).

Treasurer Report 


By Dr Gerhard KERSTING 

Treasurer of the International Federation of Fruit Juice Producers 

IFU has successfully managed its business through the year 2011, although it was a 

challenging one. 

We have been focusing on a clear Revenue management stabelising Membership fees, 

combined with cost control. 

Membership fees decreased again by 3,2 % to € 136.492,00, although 5 new members 

applied for IFU membership in 2011. 

Securities increased by 1,2 % to € 213.312,92. 

Total Expenses were 1,0 % below budget at € 155.502,37, whereas salaries increased to € 

103.434,92. This increase was mainly due to accruals for vacation and an annual bonus 

which had to be paid to the Secretary General according to the French Collective Agreement. 

As a result profit was at € 20.218,38, fortunately, but compared to 2010 result was down by € 

5.286,05. 

IFU performance at a glance 

revenue expenses 

2010 € 174.040,43 € 148.535,90 

2011 € 175.720,75 € 155.502,37 

+ 1,0 % + 4,7 % 

profit 

2010 € 25.504,53 

2011 € 20.218,38 

/ 20,7 % 

Regardless the uncertainty in our markets, I believe that IFU with its experienced people and 

good record of management will stand us in good stead for the coming year.

Report on the Activities of the Commission for Legislation 


By Dr Hany FARAG 

Chairman of the Commission for Legislation 

In 2011 the Commission for Legislation met for one ordinary meeting on June 14, in Bonita 

Springs, FL, USA. 

The main task of the Commission for Legislation (CL) is to participate in, or monitor CODEX 

activities relevant to the juice industry. The IFU as an NGO has an observer status with no 

voting rights. However, being recognized as the world’s juice expert NGO, the IFU is in a 

unique position to influence and assist the various CODEX Committees’ in reaching 

decisions favorable to the industry and to juice consumers worldwide. 

In addition to Codex, issues that are of importance to the IFU members are brought to 

discussions and input during ordinary CL meetings, through e-mail or conference calls. 

The IFU actively participates and monitors the following CODEX Committees: 

1. CODEX Alimentarius Commission (CAC): 34 th session July 4 -9, 2011 Geneva, 

Switzerland. 

IFU representative: Mr. Paul Zwiker, Switzerland 

The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) held its 34 th session in Geneva, Switzerland 

from 4 to 9 July 2011. 

Of interest on the agenda was changing the TOR of Codex Commission on Processed Fruits 

and Vegetables (CCPFV) to include fruit and vegetable juices and nectars. After we opposed 

the original proposed language, the TOR are now in our favor and read as follows: 

To elaborate worldwide standards and related texts for all types of processed fruits and 

vegetables, including but not limited to canned, dried and frozen products as well as fruit and 

vegetable juices and nectars. 

2. CODEX Committee on Food Additives (CCFA), 43 rd session 14-18 March 2011 

Xiamen, China) 

IFU representative: Dr Hany Farag, USA 

43 rd session of the Codex Committee on Food Additives (CCFA) was held in Xiamen, China 

on March 14 – 18, 2011. 

There were several additives of interest to the fruit juice industry that were successfully 

addressed during the session. 

Some were new additives proposed for addition to fruit and vegetable juices and their 

concentrates and nectars and their concentrates, while some other additives of interest date 

back to the 40 th session (2008) and were not fully addressed due to time constraints. 


May 2012 

15

The most important issue was related to the preservatives sulfites and lauryl arginate ethyl 

ester (LAEE). The proposal to increase sulfites in fruit and vegetable juices and nectars and 

their concentrates from the current level of 50mg/kg to 200 mg/kg was discussed in eWG, 

however, no consensus was reached and the discussion was discontinued. 

The eWG recommended advancing LAEE to steps 3/8 and 5/8, however, during a break, the 

IFU representative met with the Swiss and Israeli delegations and agreed to intervene and 

request not to advance LAEE and maintain it at the current steps. Further meeting between 

the IFU representative and the head of the US delegation, who is also the chairman of the 

eWG (Dr. Dennis Keefe), Dr. Keefe announced during the plenary that he decided to 

withdraw LAEE from consideration and discontinue work completely.

3. CODEX Committee on Food Labeling (CCFL), 39 th session on May 9 -13, 2011 in 

Quebec City, Canada 

IFU representative: Mr. Jan Hermans, Belgium 

1. Nutrient Profiles field testing: The aim of the field-testing is to help facilitate nutrient 

profiling work in countries while assessing whether the content of the manual is 

understandable, relevant, practical and if applied would help lead to the adaptation or 


May 2012 

16

development of an appropriate nutrient profile model for a specific purpose. With support of 

the Public Health Agency of Canada, the first field-testing was undertaken in South-Africa in 

April 2011. Currently, planning is underway to undertake the field-testing in other countries 

who had indicated their interests, including Brazil, Philippines, Portugal and Thailand. 

Furthermore, as a tool to support the country process, a catalogue of nutrient profile models 

has also been compiled with the support of Health Canada. The aim of the catalogue is to 

develop accessible resource information that summarizes key characteristics of the nutrient 

profile models which are identified through a systematic search and meet specific inclusion 

and exclusion criteria set up by the project advisory group. 

2. Implementation of the WHO Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health. 

2.1 Draft Revision of the Guidelines on Nutrition Labeling concerning the list of nutrients that 

are always declared on a voluntary or mandatory basis (advanced to Step 7) 

2.2 Discussion paper on additional conditions for nutrient content claims and comparative 

claims in the Guidelines for Use of Nutrition and Health Claims. A physical working group 

was held in the weekend before the CCFL in order to prepare for the Plenary session’s 

discussion on the issue of nutrient content claims (no added sugars, no added salt/sodium) 

and comparative claims (reduced, X% less, etc.). Disagreement was visible between the US 

and some member countries, on the one hand, and EU and some member countries, on the 

other hand, as to whether ingredient claims should be included in the title of the Table of 

Conditions. The US believes that non addition claims are to be considered ingredient claims, 

whereas the EU is of the opinion that non addition claims can be considered implied nutrient 

content claims. 

2.3 No added sugars -- In the absence of consensus with regard to the precise conditions of 

use for the ‘no added sugars’ claim, the Committee agreed to some ‘principles for conditions 

for non-addition of sugars. 

2.4 Conditions of use for comparative claims (‘reduced’, etc.) for sugars and salt/sodium 

content. The physical working group showed no support for work on the “Now contains X% 

less” claim for the moment. Some member countries noted the difficulties of enforcement and 

the potentially misleading aspects. 

2.5 Mandatory nutrition labeling -- Now that the list of nutrients to be declared on a 

mandatory or voluntary basis has been agreed by the Committee, the question was raised 

whether certain member countries that did not feel comfortable with mandatory nutrition 

labeling would consider applying mandatory nutrition labeling in the near future. 

4. Codex Committee on Contaminants in Foods (CCCF), 5 th Session, March 21- 25, 

2011 in The Hague, The Netherlands 

IFU representative: Dr. Hany Farag, USA 

The Committee agreed to establish an electronic Working Group to: (i) reconsider the 

existing maximum levels with a focus on foods important for infants and children and also on 

the canned fruits and vegetables and (ii) reconsider if other existing maximum levels should 

be addressed. 

The electronic Working Group will be led by the United States of America, will work in 

English only and be open to all Codex members and observers.

- Tin levels harmonization 

There is a discrepancy between Codex tin levels and levels allowed in the EU. It is still 

unclear whether EU will harmonize tin levels allowed in Europe with Codex ones. In EU – 

maximum levels allowed for tin are 100 mg/kg in ‘canned beverages’ while Codex set 

maximum levels for tin at 150 mg/kg for ‘canned beverages’. 

Mr. HERMANS has agreed to ask the European Commission (DG Sanco) regarding EU 

position on tin levels harmonization with Codex. 

5. Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR), 43 rd session 4-9 April 2011 

Beijing, China 

IFU representative: Dr. David Hammond, United Kingdom 

There has been a lot of discussion at the last three CCPR sessions regarding need to review 

the safety of a pesticide regularly (ever 15 years). A full dossier is required which details any 

new toxicology data, GAP and residue data, which is costly to prepare. If a chemical is no 

longer supported by a manufacturer, this process cannot be carried out and normally any 

CXLs are deleted. This can prove difficult for developing countries as older pesticides are still 

often in use there. 

MRL’s for RAC or processed products CCPR is looking at ways how to speed up and 

improve the way they set MRL’s for commodities such as fruits because if you look at the 

costs for doing the TOX studies and the field trials etc, they are quite expensive. Normally 

they are borne by the chemical manufacturer as they want to get the approval for those 

commodities but they are less likely to do it for small volumes. 

Of importance to the IFU is the issue of processing factors which remains unresolved. 

6. CODEX Committee on Methods of Analysis and Sampling (CCMAS), 32 nd Session, 7 

– 11 March 2011 in Budapest, Hungary 

IFU representative: Dr. David Hammond, United Kingdom 

The Committee considered provisions on proprietary methods in Codex standards to be 

included in the Codex Procedural Manual. This decision doesn’t directly impact legislation 

but it could impact IFU because IFU methods are part of IFU revenues. 

After some discussion, CCMAS agreed to initiate new work on the development of provisions 

for proprietary methods in the Procedural Manual and agreed that an electronic working 

group, led by the United Kingdom and Germany would define the term “proprietary method” 

and prepare a draft version of the criteria to be included in the Procedural Manual. The 

Committee further agreed that the definition and the draft should be circulated to invite 

comments from Members and Observers and it would be discussed at the next CCMAS 

session.

Report on the Activities of the 

Scientific & Technical Commission 


By Prof. Helmut DIETRICH 

Chairman of the Scientific & Technical Commission 

In 2011 the STC participated in the organisation of the Parma workshop on “The increasing 

consumption of vegetable juices worldwide" - "Juice as important part in other products". The 

consumption volume of juices with vegetables is dominated by the Asia-Pacific area with 983 

million of liters consumed in 2009 and a growth rate of 10% between 2004 and 2009. There 

is growing demand for healthy beverages with vegetables that are rich in nutrients 

(secondary plant metabolites, trace elements, fibers, vitamins). With the fruits and vegetables 

blend, it is easy for consumers to get the daily fruit and vegetable equivalence advised by 

several authorities such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) as a public health stake. 

WHO’s recommendation is to eat “5 fruit and vegetable” per day. 

Within the STC meeting on 19 th October 201, there was a discussion on heavy metals in fruit 

juices and corresponding contamination risks during processing. A special problem is the 

presence of elevated manganese concentrations (> 10 ppm in many cases) in pineapple 

juice due to special growing and soil conditions. The distribution in pineapple fruit is unequal; 

the peel region contains significantly higher concentrations than the pulp. Data were 

presented that show a lower concentration in pineapple puree (median 4.94 ppm; n=24) than 

in pineapple juices (median 10.97 ppm; n=32). A contamination by manganese during 

processing of pineapple juice can be excluded in the meanwhile. 

Arsenic in apple juice is a matter of debate; in US a decrease of the limit to 10 ppm was 

proposed. This element which is abundant in soils arises partially from contamination during 

processing of fruit juices. STC recommends a purity check of processing aids. It is expected 

that the topic “heavy metals in fruit products” will be more important in the future. 

Methanol concentration in juices and purees has become an issue in the USA. As methanol 

Juices always contain significantly less methanol than the corresponding fruit because a 

large portion remains as bound MeOH in the pomace. Data on cloudy apple juices were 

presented which show that more than 95% of methanol remains in the pomace. Apple 

purees are comparable to mash and apple fruit. The concentration in smoothies is between 

that of puree and juice, depending on the portion of puree. 

The office of environmental health hazard assessment OEHHA in California has presented a 

interpretive guideline on the consumption of methanol resulting from pectin that occurs 

naturally in fruits and vegetables: www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/ig/pdf/IG_12001Methanol.pdf. 

Non-thermal treatment of fruit juices is another topic of STC work. In contrast to UV-C 

radiation and ultrasound which have severe limitations the potential of pulsed-electric-fields 

(PEF) is used in the meanwhile for the prolongation of the shelf-life of fruit juice. 

The detection of resistant bacteria and traces of antibiotics in vegetables will be a matter of 

concern in the future. A large portion of antibiotics production is applied in animal farming. 

The contamination is possible over the route of liquid manure, soil and roots. Early warnings 

in the 1960ies on the risks of antibiotics use for animal farming were unheard. 

The question on fermented fruit juices as a possibility to expand the diversity of fruit juice 

products was discussed last year. STC will follow this alignment.

Commission on Methods of Analysis 


By Mr Mikko HOFSOMMER 

Chairman of the Commission on Methods of Analysis 

Due to constraints on travel budgets there were only three members of the CMA present at 

the CMA meeting in Bonita Spring in June 2011. However there were seven guests present 

from the US industry. As in previous years where attendance was expected to be low CMA 

took the opportunity to have a “non-meeting” and to spend some time in a brainstorming 

exercise in order to look forward at what possible “new” issues it should look at. 

The following topics were raised: 

1) Enzymatic method for mannitol for vegetable and pomegranate juices and where 

no expensive HPLC system is available. 

2) Solvent effects in the qualitative test for pectin 

3) Methods for B vitamin in juice drinks 

4) Adaption of the “formol” method to use another material instead of formaldehyde 

due to toxicity concerns 

5) Re-visit the oligosaccharide recommendation REC 4 

The following issues are open: 

� Revision of the recommendation on methods for heavy metals 

� Revision of method 25 on sensory analysis of juices 

� Extension of the scope of the German method for quantitative aroma analysis 

� Method for the “colour” of blood orange juice 

Finally, an overview of two new methods developed in Europe for the control of juice quality 

was reviewed for CMA guests. 

An overview of the use of DNA methods in juice analysis was given covering work carried out 

in the UK for the FSA 

� Mandarin in orange by hetroduplex method 

Overview of DNA methods developed by INRA in France 

� Citrus species 

� Mango varieties

Public Relations and Membership Commission 


By Mr. Jan HERMANS 

Chairman of the Public Relations and Membership Commission 

The Public Relations and Membership Commission met once in 2011 on the occasion of the 

Annual Sessions in Bonita Springs, Florida. At the June 14 meeting, apart from the IFU 

President and Secretary General, 6 members were in attendance. The group was joined by 

representatives from Florida and Turkey who attended as guests. 

The main discussions in the Commission related to the further development of the IFU News, 

the recruiting of new members and the further promotion and development of the World Juice 

Day concept. 

The IFU News has, after 2 years, proven to be a successful initiative. The quarterly 

publication has now a large group of regular contributors who report on a wide variety of 

national or regional issues of importance to the industry. In 2011 we got contributions from 

the juice associations in Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Israel, Russia, Switzerland, 

Turkey and from the AIJN. We will keep encouraging the IFU members to share interesting 

juice developments in their home countries and regions with their colleagues worldwide. 

Recruitment of new members remains a difficult issue. One handicap which the IFU has in 

attracting new members is that it is an International Association devoted to defending the 

global fruit juice industry at international forums such as CODEX Alimentarius or WHO/FAO. 

It can be understood that individual companies who are more focused on their domestic or 

regional market do not recognize and appreciate the impact of international policy making on 

their businesses and hence the necessity to support the IFU. This attitude is less 

comprehensible from larger national associations. Clearly the current economic situation is 

not helpful as well. High commodity pricing combined with a weak retail environment for 

groceries gave the industry challenges both on the supply side and on the demand side. In 

such an environment companies are looking to cut expenses and contributions to trade 

associations are often victim of this policy. Our Committee appointed “Regional Champions” 

who are taking responsibility to personally contact and recruit companies and associations in 

their designated areas to become IFU members. 

The exciting idea from our Turkish members to organize an annual World Juice Day (WJD) 

was further promoted by the Public Relations Committee and IFU. Our Turkish colleague 

Ebru Akdag, who came up with the idea to have a WJD, was appointed as WJD Ambassador 

and in this capacity she travelled in November to Australia and New Zealand to promote the 

concept at meetings with the juice associations down under. IFU contributed financially to her 

trip. The IFU Secretary General had earlier this year a meeting in the FAO headquarter in 

Rome with Ms Selma DOYRAN, Secretary of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) 

and Gracia BRISCO, Food Standards Officer of the CAC, to present the World Juice Day 

initiative. Following the meeting Elisabetta wrote a letter to the Director Generals of both the 

FAO and the WHO requesting a joint co-operation with both organizations to establish a 

World Juice Day. An endorsement by those organizations of the WJD would be a real 

success for the IFU and strengthen its role as promoter of fruit juices.
