What it is
Concentrated raisin juice is made by extracting the juice from dried grapes (raisins) and then removing most of the water. This process intensifies the natural sugars and flavors of the grapes.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use concentrated raisin juice primarily as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer. It adds a subtle fruity sweetness and can contribute to browning in baked goods. It is often found in sauces, marinades, and some baked products.
Health notes
Concentrated raisin juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of natural sugars and does not have specific regulatory limits set by bodies like JECFA or EFSA. As with any concentrated sugar source, excessive consumption could contribute to increased calorie intake.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Raisins are derived from grapes, which are not among the nine major allergens.
