What it is
A fruit juice blend is a mixture of two or more fruit juices or juice concentrates. It may also include water and other ingredients to achieve a desired flavor, color, and consistency. The specific fruits used can vary widely.

Health notes
Fruit juice blends are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are a source of natural sugars and may contain vitamins and minerals depending on the fruits used. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various fruit juices and their components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming fruit juice blends in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
