Concentrated Strawberry Juice

Concentrated strawberry juice is made by removing water from strawberry juice. This process intensifies the natural flavor and color of the strawberries. It is used to add a distinct strawberry taste and aroma to foods.

Manufacturers use concentrated strawberry juice as a natural flavoring agent and colorant. It provides a pure strawberry taste without adding significant bulk. It is commonly found in candies, fruit juices, nectars, fruit drinks, and dairy products like flavored milk.

Concentrated strawberry juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars, vitamins, and antioxidants found in strawberries. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated fruit juices and concentrates, but no specific health concerns are associated with its typical consumption in foods. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from consuming foods containing concentrated strawberry juice at normal levels.
