What it is

Fruits and vegetables are the edible parts of plants, including their seeds, flowers, stems, and roots. They are grown through agriculture and can be consumed fresh, frozen, canned, dried, or processed into juices, purees, or concentrates.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add fruits and vegetables to foods to provide natural flavors, colors, and textures, as well as to enhance nutritional content with vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are commonly found in processed cereal products, sauces, ice cream, yogurts, and many other packaged foods.

Health notes

Fruits and vegetables are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when consumed as food. They are a cornerstone of a healthy diet, providing essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consuming a variety of fruits and vegetables daily as part of a balanced eating pattern. There are no known adverse effects at typical intake levels, and regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA do not evaluate "fruits and vegetables" as a single food additive.

Allergen info

Fruits and vegetables are not considered one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA.
