What it is

Cranberry juice concentrate is made by removing water from cranberry juice. This process intensifies the flavor and color of the cranberries. It is used to add a tart, fruity taste and a red color to foods and beverages.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cranberry juice concentrate to add a distinct cranberry flavor and color to a variety of products. It is commonly found in fruit juices, nectars, and drinks, as well as in snacks like popcorn and nut mixes. It can also be used in beverages where a tart, fruity note is desired.

Health notes

Cranberry juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Cranberries and their products are often associated with urinary tract health, though scientific evidence is mixed and more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated cranberry juice concentrate and established specifications for its identity and quality. It is not typically associated with significant health concerns when consumed in amounts found in food.

Allergen info

Cranberry juice concentrate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
