What it is

100% fruit juice is made by squeezing the juice from whole fruits. It contains no added sugars, water, or other ingredients. The juice is typically pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria and extend shelf life.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use 100% fruit juice as a beverage base or as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in other products. It is commonly found in fruit juices, fruit drinks, and some baked goods.

Health notes

The FDA considers 100% fruit juice to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS). While it contains natural sugars, it also provides vitamins and minerals. JECFA has evaluated fruit juices and set acceptable daily intakes for certain components. Some health organizations suggest limiting intake due to natural sugar content, similar to other sweetened beverages.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Fruit juice is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
