From Concentrated Juice

From concentrated juice is made by removing most of the water from fruit or vegetable juice. The concentrated juice can then be reconstituted by adding water back to it. This process helps preserve the juice and makes it easier to transport.

Manufacturers use concentrated juice to provide natural fruit or vegetable flavor and color in beverages like sodas, water, and fruit drinks. It is a cost-effective way to add authentic taste and appearance to products without using artificial ingredients.

From concentrated juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a natural source of sugars and nutrients found in the original fruit or vegetable. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar juice concentrates, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its consumption at normal levels.
