What it is

Fair-trade and organic coffee extract is a concentrated liquid made from roasted coffee beans that have been certified as ethically sourced and grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The beans are typically brewed with hot water, and then the liquid is concentrated through evaporation or other methods to create a potent coffee flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use coffee extract to add a strong, authentic coffee flavor to a variety of food and beverage products. It is commonly found in coffee-flavored drinks, dairy and non-dairy beverages, frozen desserts, baked goods, and confectionery.

Health notes

Coffee extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring. The FDA has not set specific limits for its use, and it is not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated coffee and caffeine, and while they have established acceptable daily intakes for caffeine, coffee extract itself is primarily a flavor ingredient.

Allergen info

Coffee extract is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
