What it is

Apple juice is the liquid extracted from apples. It is made by crushing or pressing apples to release their juice, which may then be filtered to remove solids. It can be sold fresh, pasteurized, or concentrated and then reconstituted.

Why it's used

Apple juice is primarily used as a beverage and a natural sweetener in various food products. It is commonly found in fruit juices, smoothies, baked goods, and confectionery, adding a distinct apple flavor and sweetness.

Health notes

Apple juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains natural sugars and is a source of vitamin C. While generally safe in moderation, excessive consumption of fruit juices, including apple juice, can contribute to high sugar intake. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated apple juice and its components. Evidence on the health impacts of apple juice consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits from antioxidants, while others highlight concerns related to sugar content and dental health.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Apple juice is derived from apples, which are not among the FDA's nine major food allergens. It does not contain gluten.
