Carrot And Blackcurrant Concentrate

Carrot and blackcurrant concentrate is a natural food coloring made from the juice of carrots and blackcurrants. These fruits and vegetables are pressed to extract their juice, which is then concentrated to intensify the color and flavor.

Manufacturers use this concentrate to provide a natural red or purple color to foods. It is often found in products like cookies, snack bars, and other baked goods where a vibrant, natural hue is desired.

Carrot and blackcurrant concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food coloring. It is a source of natural pigments like anthocyanins and carotenoids, which are antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated similar natural colorings, and no significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical levels.
