And Each Of The Following: Concentrated Juices

This refers to the concentrated form of fruit or vegetable juices. The water content is removed through processes like evaporation, making the juice more potent and easier to transport and store. The removed water can be added back later to reconstitute the juice.

Manufacturers use concentrated juices to add natural fruit or vegetable flavor and color to a wide variety of products. They are common in beverages like fruit punches, nectars, and other drinks, as well as in some baked goods, candies, and dairy products.

Concentrated juices are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They provide natural sugars and nutrients found in the original fruit or vegetable. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar food ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
