Apple Juice From Concentrated

Juice made from apples that have been processed into a concentrated form. Water is removed from the juice to make it lighter and easier to transport. Later, water is added back to reconstitute it into juice.

Manufacturers use it as a sweetener and flavor ingredient. It is commonly found in candies, fruit snacks, and beverages.

Apple juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of natural sugars, and excessive intake of any fruit juice can contribute to high sugar consumption. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting added sugars, and while apple juice concentrate is not an added sugar, its sugar content should be considered within overall dietary patterns. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sugars and their metabolic effects.
