Goji Juice

Goji juice is made from the berries of the *Lycium barbarum* or *Lycium chinense* plant, which are native to Asia. The berries are typically juiced and may be pasteurized or processed to extend shelf life.

Goji juice is often used as a flavoring and coloring agent in beverages, energy bars, and other snack foods. Manufacturers may also add it for its perceived health benefits and unique tart-sweet flavor profile.

Goji juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains antioxidants and various vitamins. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated goji berries, but specific evaluations of goji juice may vary. Evidence on significant health benefits or risks from typical consumption levels is still developing.
