What it is
Honey extract is a concentrated liquid made from honey. It is produced by removing water from honey, which intensifies its flavor and sweetness.
Why it's used

Health notes
Honey extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It provides sweetness and flavor, similar to honey itself. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated honey and its derivatives. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming honey extract at typical levels found in food.
Allergen info
Honey extract is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
