The Food and Drug Administration said carbendazim would remain illegal for citrus in any amount in the United States. Brazil and U.S. industry groups asked the FDA to reconsider its stance on the fungicide, widely used in Brazil to combat blight blossom and black spot, a type of mold that grows on orange trees. The FDA started testing for the fungicide on January 4, after an alert from Coca-Cola, roiling orange juice futures to record highs as traders feared a prolonged disruption to supply.

Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. (RBXY) made “adulterated, potentially unsafe” medicines that were illegal to sell, U.S. prosecutors said in a proposed settlement with the Indian drugmaker.

Among alleged violations, Ranbaxy failed to adequately separate the production of penicillin and non-penicillin drugs and failed to take adequate steps to prevent contamination of sterile medicines, the U.S. Justice Department said in a 58-page document filed in federal court in Maryland yesterday. The settlement stipulates proposed changes Ranbaxy, based on the outskirts of New Delhi , must make to settle the three- year-old dispute. The drugmaker set aside $500 million to resolve all potential civil and criminal liability related to the U.S. investigation, it said last month. The company didn’t admit or deny the accusations detailed in the settlement, which requires approval by a federal judge.

The actions, which lowered the ratings of nine countries, were the strongest signal yet that Europe’s sovereign debt woes were far from over and would pose fresh political challenges for politicians, including President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, as they try to stabilize the problem on the Continent, now in its third year. Another reminder of the continuing challenge came Friday from Greece, the original source of Europe’s debt troubles. A snag arose in talks between the new Greek government and its creditors — banks and other private investors — in which Athens hopes the bond holders will agree to take losses as a way for Greece to avoid a default.

Tensions with Iran these days are as high as they've been in years, and managing them will be one of the top challenges facing the Obama administration this year. With Iran threatening to block U.S. ships from entering the Persian Gulf, and the United States vowing not to back down, the stage seems to be set for war. And yet, what's happening with Iran right now may be more of an economic confrontation than a military standoff.
