What it is

100% Prune Juice is the liquid extracted from dried plums (prunes). The fruit is typically dried, then rehydrated with water before pressing to extract the juice. The juice is then filtered and pasteurized.

Why it's used

Health notes

Prune juice is recognized by the FDA as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. It is known for its natural sorbitol content, which can aid digestion for some individuals. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated prune juice and found no safety concerns at typical consumption levels. Evidence regarding its effects on digestive health is generally consistent, though individual responses may vary.
