Lemon Juice From Concentrate

Lemon juice from concentrate is made from fresh lemons that have been processed to remove water. The resulting concentrated lemon juice is then reconstituted with water before use. This process helps preserve the juice and makes it easier to transport and store.

Manufacturers use lemon juice from concentrate as a flavoring agent and to add acidity to foods and beverages. It is commonly found in salad dressings, marinades, sauces, baked goods, and non-alcoholic beverages.

Lemon juice from concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of vitamin C. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated citric acid, a component of lemon juice, and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
