- **FDA notes:** Violation(s): The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to Section 801(a)(3) in that it appears to be misbranded within the meaning of Section 403(i)(2) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 343(i)(2)] because the article purports to be a beverage containing fruit or vegetable juice and the label fails to bear a percent juice declaration as required by 21 CFR 101.30. Also, the article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to section 801(a)(3) in that it appears to be misbranded within the meaning of section 403(a)(1) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 343(a)(1)] because the product is false and misleading in that it bears a Natural claim but fails to meet the requirements to bear such claim. FDA has not established a regulatory definition for the term natural; however, the Agency has a long-standing policy that restricts the use of the term ¿natural¿ when a product is formulated with added color, synthetic substances, and flavors as stated in 21 CFR 101.22 (see 58 FR 2407 (January 6, 1993)). Among other things, this policy states that the term natural means that nothing artificial or synthetic (including all color additives regardless of source) has been included in, or has been added to, a food that would not normally be expected to be in the food. This product appears to contain sulfur dioxide, which is listed in the ingredient statement as a preservative. Therefore, the product name can not include the term Natural. The article is subject to refusal of admission pursuant to section 801(a)(3) in that it is misbranded within the meaning of section 403(e)(1) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 343(e)(1)] because the product label does not contain a complete name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor in accordance with 21 CFR 101.5. ; 4/3/2012 _(verified: appears in the quote below)_
