What it is

Apple cider from concentrate is made by removing most of the water from apple cider to create a concentrated liquid or powder. This concentrate is then reconstituted with water before being used in food products. It retains the flavor and aroma of fresh apple cider.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use apple cider from concentrate primarily to provide apple flavor and aroma in beverages, baked goods, and sauces. It serves as a cost-effective way to add a distinct apple taste without using the fresh juice, which is more perishable and takes up more space.

Health notes

In the US, apple cider from concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of natural sugars and some vitamins found in apples. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fruit-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is derived from apples, which are not among the nine major allergens.
