What it is
Concentrated fruit juices are made by removing most of the water from fruit juice. This process intensifies the natural flavor and color of the fruit. The resulting liquid is thicker and sweeter than regular juice.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use concentrated fruit juices to add natural fruit flavor, sweetness, and color to a variety of products. They are commonly found in beverages like fruit juices, nectars, and flavored drinks, as well as in some baked goods and candies.
Health notes
Concentrated fruit juices are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of natural sugars and can contribute to overall calorie intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated fruit juices and their components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Concentrated fruit juices are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
