What it is

Apple juice from concentrate is made from apples that have been processed to remove most of their water content, creating a concentrated liquid. This concentrate is then reconstituted with water before being used in food products. This process makes it easier and more cost-effective to transport and store.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use apple juice from concentrate primarily as a sweetener and flavor ingredient in a wide variety of foods and beverages. It is commonly found in fruit juices, nectars, fruit drinks, candies, and sodas.

Health notes

Apple juice from concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. The FDA has not set specific upper intake levels for apple juice itself, but like all fruit juices, excessive consumption can contribute to high sugar intake. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated apple juice, and EFSA has also reviewed related compounds. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Apple is not one of the nine FDA major allergens, nor is it typically associated with gluten.
