What it is

Guava juice concentrate is made from guavas, a tropical fruit native to Mexico and Central America. The juice is extracted from the fruit and then concentrated by removing water, intensifying its flavor and sweetness.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use guava juice concentrate to add a distinct tropical fruit flavor and natural sweetness to a variety of products. It is commonly found in fruit juices, nectars, jams, jellies, and flavored beverages.

Health notes

Guava juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of vitamin C and other nutrients found naturally in guavas. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fruit concentrates, but no specific numeric limits are typically set for natural fruit components used as flavors or sweeteners.

Allergen info

Guava is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
