Fruit And Vegetable Juice And Sucralose

This ingredient is a combination of natural fruit and vegetable juices used for flavor and color, along with sucralose, an artificial sweetener. The juices provide a base flavor and visual appeal, while sucralose is added to sweeten the product without adding calories.

Manufacturers use this blend to create low-calorie or sugar-free versions of fruit drinks, nectars, and juice cocktails. The fruit and vegetable juices contribute natural flavor and color, while sucralose provides intense sweetness.

Sucralose is an FDA-approved high-intensity sweetener. It has been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA and EFSA. While generally recognized as safe at typical consumption levels, some studies have raised questions about its effects on gut bacteria and potential for breakdown at high temperatures, though regulatory bodies have not set specific limits on its use in foods. The fruit and vegetable juices are natural food components.
