Health notes
Fruit juice, when added to foods, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It contains natural sugars, which contribute to the "added sugars" content of a product. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no specific amount of added sugars. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate specific food additives, and fruit juice itself is generally considered a food ingredient rather than an additive requiring such evaluation.
