What it is

This ingredient is derived from fruits, meaning it is sourced from the natural sugars and compounds found in fruits. It can be extracted or synthesized to capture the essence and flavor of specific fruits.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use fruit-derived ingredients to add natural fruit flavors and sometimes sweetness to a variety of products. They are commonly found in candies, beverages, baked goods, and dairy products to provide a fruity taste.

Health notes

Fruit-derived ingredients are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many fruit-derived compounds. At typical consumption levels found in food, they are not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns for most fruit-derived ingredients.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. However, if the fruit source is known (e.g., strawberry), and a consumer has a specific fruit allergy, caution may be warranted.
