Contains 2% Or Less: Lemon Juice Concentrate

Lemon juice concentrate is made by removing water from lemon juice. This process intensifies the lemon flavor and aroma. It is often used as a convenient way to add lemon taste to foods and beverages.

Manufacturers add lemon juice concentrate to provide a tart, citrus flavor. It is commonly found in salad dressings, sauces, baked goods, and frozen desserts. It can also act as a natural preservative by lowering pH.

Lemon juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of Vitamin C, which is an essential nutrient. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated citric acid, a primary component of lemon juice, and found it safe for consumption. No significant health concerns are associated with its typical use in food.
