Nonsense, reputable manufacturers are very straightforward about what is in their juice. Furthermore, while FDA oversight would undoubtedly increase quality standards to some degree, it doesn't guarantee purity and compliance.

On certain topics some people seem determined to not use common sense.

Flint's water is NOT government approved, it is well above the legal limit for lead. I don't really know what point you're trying to make here.
