Safety concerns around apple juice?

There have been reports in the media regarding the presence of arsenic in certain apple juice products made from juice concentrates from China. While the Food and Drug Administration has released a statement that Apple Juice is safe to drink, we want to share some important information about the apple juice in Honest Tea's Honest Kids Appley Ever After.

Honest Kids Appley Ever After thirst quenchers, which contain 30% apple juice (from concentrate), do not include any apple ingredients from China. Most of the apples for Honest Kids Appley Ever After are grown in the United States. We occasionally purchase apple juice concentrate from Turkey or New Zealand. All our juice concentrates are extensively tested before they are shipped to our bottling plants. We test for pesticides and heavy metals (including arsenic and lead), among other things. All Honest Tea beverages are produced in the United States.
