Concentrated Raspberry Puree

Concentrated raspberry puree is made from ripe raspberries that have been processed to remove most of their water content. This process intensifies the fruit's natural flavor and color, creating a thick, smooth paste.

Manufacturers use concentrated raspberry puree primarily to add a natural fruit flavor and color to foods. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and tarts, as well as in ice cream, yogurt, and confectionery products.

Concentrated raspberry puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It contains natural sugars and fiber from the fruit. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated fruit purees, and no specific safety concerns are typically associated with its consumption at normal dietary levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming foods containing this ingredient.
