What it is

Clam juice is the liquid extracted from clams. It is typically obtained during the canning or processing of clams for food. The liquid contains natural clam flavor and some dissolved proteins and minerals.

Why it's used

Clam juice is primarily used to add a distinct seafood flavor to foods. It is a common ingredient in seafood dishes, soups like clam chowder, sauces, and dips. It enhances the overall taste profile of these products.

Health notes

Clam juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a natural food ingredient and is not typically associated with health concerns when consumed in normal amounts as part of a diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated clam products, but specific evaluations for clam juice alone may vary.

Allergen info

Clam juice is derived from shellfish, which is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Individuals with shellfish allergies should avoid products containing clam juice.
