Coffee Extract Made With 100% Columbian Coffee

Coffee extract is a concentrated liquid made from roasted coffee beans. It is produced by steeping ground coffee beans in a solvent, such as water or alcohol, to extract their flavor and aroma compounds. The resulting liquid is then filtered and concentrated.

Manufacturers use coffee extract to add a rich coffee flavor and aroma to a variety of foods and beverages without adding significant bulk. It is commonly found in desserts like ice cream, frozen yogurt, and baked goods, as well as in coffee-flavored candies and beverages.

Coffee extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. It contains compounds found in coffee, such as caffeine, which can have stimulant effects. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coffee and caffeine, with no specific concerns raised at typical consumption levels. While coffee consumption is linked to various health outcomes in scientific literature, these are generally associated with brewed coffee rather than concentrated extracts used in processed foods.
