What it is

Blueberry variegate is a sweet, thick mixture made from blueberries, sugar, and often corn syrup or pectin. It is used to add a concentrated blueberry flavor and visual appeal to foods, resembling the swirls found in some ice creams.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add blueberry variegate to provide a strong blueberry taste, color, and texture. It is most commonly found in ice cream, frozen yogurt, and other frozen desserts to create a marbled or swirled effect.

Health notes

Blueberry variegate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is primarily composed of sugar and fruit, and at typical consumption levels, it contributes to the overall sugar intake of a food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar food ingredients but do not have specific evaluations for 'blueberry variegate' as a distinct additive.

Allergen info

Blueberry variegate is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
