What it is
Bell pepper juice concentrate is made from bell peppers, which are the fruits of the *Capsicum annuum* plant. The juice is extracted from the peppers and then concentrated, often through evaporation, to intensify its flavor and color.

Health notes
Bell pepper juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants naturally present in bell peppers. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar vegetable extracts, but specific evaluations for bell pepper juice concentrate may vary.
Allergen info
