What it is

Grape and cherry juice concentrates are made by removing water from grape and cherry juices. This process intensifies the natural color and flavor of the fruits. The resulting thick liquid is then reconstituted with water to create juice or used as a natural coloring and flavoring agent in other foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use grape and cherry juice concentrates to add natural fruit flavor, color, and sweetness to a variety of products. They are commonly found in fruit juices, fruit drinks, and sometimes in snacks or baked goods where a fruity taste and appearance are desired.

Health notes

Grape and cherry juice concentrates are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient.

Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
