Health notes
In the United States, fruit and vegetable juices are considered food ingredients. When used for coloring, they are exempt from certification by the FDA. They are generally recognized as safe for consumption. While they offer some nutrients, they typically lack the fiber found in whole fruits and vegetables, and some juices can be high in natural sugars. Neither JECFA nor EFSA typically evaluate fruit and vegetable juices as food additives, as they are considered whole food components.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. While some people may have allergies to specific fruits or vegetables, fruit and vegetable juices are not among the nine major allergens identified by the FDA.
