Health notes

Fruit juice and purees from concentrate are considered food ingredients by the FDA and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS). When used to sweeten foods beyond the level naturally found in 100% fruit juice, they contribute to 'added sugars.' The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. While they provide some vitamins and minerals, they lack the dietary fiber found in whole fruits. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives and do not set specific limits for general food ingredients like fruit juice concentrates.
