What it is

Fruit preparations are mixtures of fruit and other ingredients, often including sugar, water, and fruit juice concentrate. They are processed to enhance flavor, color, and texture, and to ensure shelf stability. The specific fruit used, such as strawberries or bananas, will determine the final taste and appearance.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use fruit preparations to add natural fruit flavor and color to foods. They also contribute to texture and can act as a source of sweetness. Common applications include yogurt, ice cream, baked goods, and beverages.

Health notes

Fruit preparations are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are primarily composed of fruit and sugar, and their health impact is largely related to their sugar content. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar fruit-based ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of fruit preparations.

Allergen info

Fruit preparations are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. Gluten is not typically present unless added ingredients like wheat flour are included.
