Coca-Cola kicked off the orange juice probe

Coca-Cola, which makes popular brands Minute Maid and Simply Orange, kicked off an FDA probe into fungicide found in orange juice from Brazil.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Coca-Cola, maker of Minute Maid and Simply Orange, said Thursday that it was the company that originally alerted U.S. regulators to the issues surrounding Brazilian orange juice after it found a fungicide in some of its products.

The Atlanta-based beverage giant notified the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Dec. 28 after detecting low levels of carbendazim in its own and in competitors' finished orange juice and in juice concentrates that were not yet on the market.
