And Elderberry Juice Concentrate

Elderberry juice concentrate is made from the juice of elderberries, a small, dark purple fruit from the Sambucus tree. The juice is concentrated by removing water, resulting in a thicker liquid with a more intense flavor and color.

It is used as a natural source of color, flavor, and sweetness in foods like beverages, yogurt, and snacks. Manufacturers may also use it for its antioxidant properties.

Elderberry juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. While elderberries contain vitamins and antioxidants, scientific evidence for specific health benefits from consuming them in typical food amounts is limited. JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated elderberry juice concentrate.
